要旨：Firms create new jobs while removing old jobs to achieve optimal performances. During the process, the oversea foreign direct investment can play an important role. On the one hand, foreign expansion can reduce the budget to be spent domestically, which leaves less room for domestic employment. On the other hand, activities of FDI can contribute to more technical progress and higher productivity, which help to create more new jobs or alleviate the destruction of existing jobs. This study uses a unique dataset of Japanese firms’ oversea activities to examine the individual effect of outward FDI on firm-level job creation and destruction respectively. The empirical results indicate that the overall FDI reduces the total amount of job creation and job destruction at the same time, but the scale of the impact on job destruction is larger than that on job creation. We further show that the reallocation patterns are closely related to different purposes of FDI, namely vertical and horizontal ones, varying across industries and destinations. We then rationalize the findings by applying a general equilibrium model which illustrates the mechanism of how employment reallocation can improve production efficiency to better serve outward foreign direct investment. The findings provide evidence that going abroad does not necessarily lead to the increasing unemployment at home.
