Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. From now until the launch of Oxford Events, new events cannot be published or edited on OxTalks while all existing records are migrated to the new platform. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period.
From 16th, Oxford Events will launch on a new website: events.ox.ac.uk, and event submissions will resume. You will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
We study the effects of foreign takeovers on firm performance, skill premium and compensation practices following Finland’s deregulation of foreign ownership in the mid-1990s. We find large effects on wages at the industry and local labor-market level with an identification strategy using foreign ownership patterns in Sweden to instrument acquisitions in Finland. We find more modest increases in wages at firm-level using event-studies. The comparison of labor-market and firm-level results suggests that foreign ownership has spillover effects to firms remaining domestically-owned.
