We empirically investigate whether employment is affected by foreign direct investment(FDI).Empirical results show that the FDI entry deregulations promote employment by increasing job creation rate.In addition to the employment expansion of incumbent firms,the FDI entry deregulations fa-cilitate the entry of new firms,which also contributes to employment.Furthermore,FDI in upstream in-dustries can promote employment in this industry,and FDI from other regions can promote local employ-ment.Finally,a simple estimate shows that about $ 56 900 is required for each job created.
