FDI can generate jobs via firm entry and expansion.
Synthesis of micro- and firm-level empirical studies reported in the review indicating job creation associated with foreign-owned firm entry and expansion; evidence heterogeneous by sector and country (sample sizes and methods vary by underlying studies).
The paper makes testable empirical predictions: sectors with exponential returns to skill/AI should exhibit larger increases in inequality and private investment intensity, and firm-level investments should cluster at borrowing limits.
Derived empirical implications from the theoretical model; the paper suggests strategies for empirical testing (fit wage distributions, measure tail returns, use firm-level credit/investment data, exploit technology shocks) but reports no empirical tests.
Borrowing constraints matter: they can be the binding limit on investment when private incentives push to extreme (corner) investment levels.
Model includes borrowing constraints; equilibrium characterization demonstrates cases where the borrowing constraint binds and determines the chosen investment level (credit-limited corner solutions).
In the firm interpretation, firms race to deploy more capable AI/chatbots and frequently choose corner investment solutions constrained only by borrowing limits.
Model variant mapping individual skill investment to firm R&D/AI-capital choice; equilibrium solutions computed in the model show optimal firm investment often hits upper bounds set by borrowing constraints.

Mandatory inference benchmarks and public reporting would create market and regulatory incentives to optimize models for energy efficiency (e.g., compression, routing, edge inference).
Policy implications / market design analysis describing likely provider responses to benchmarking and public reporting.
Mandatory model-level disclosure and user-choice rights would help internalize negative environmental externalities, shifting costs into firms’ deployment and pricing decisions.
