Abstract

This thesis investigates whether foreign direct investment and international trade significantly contribute to critical economic outcomes, such as trade openness, unemployment, and economic growth for Australia at different levels of disaggregation. This thesis reveals regional heterogeneity and industrial heterogeneity of FDI, trade and other economic indicators in Australia. Then, this study also identifies comparative advantage of trade at the regional level. Furthermore, my findings also provide evidence that the labour demand from industrial concentration leads to reallocating employment from low trade openness regions to the high trade openness regions. Although the object of the study is Australia, many of the approaches and findings can be relevant for other countries with similar characteristics.
