FDI and international outsourcing differ from each other in two places. First, conducting FDI activity incurs higher costs since a Northern firm needs to recruit Southern skilled workers to manage or monitor its production process in the South. Second, without properly managing or monitoring its production process in the South, outsourcing is subject to the risk of imitation. Once the products are successfully imitated by Southern firms, Southern firms are able to produce the whole product in the South. Northerners and Southerners can choose to either remain unskilled or become skilled. Skilled Northerners work in the R&D sector or in the outsourcing sector while skilled Southerners work in the FDI sector or in the imitation sector. Both unskilled Northerners and Southerners work in the production sector. The existence of heterogeneity of agents allows me to study how strengthening IPR protection in the South affects wage inequality. There are two alternative specifications of R&D difficulty in this project. In the second-year project, I assume that R&D difficulty is proportional to the Northern population. I study the impact of strengthening IPR protection under each specification of R&D difficulty. Besides, the effects of international specialization, R&D cost and population will also be examined.外國直接投資國際委外代工智慧財產權.FDIoutsourcingintellectual property rights.
