Therefore, this paper wants to discuss whether FDI has a positive impact on Taiwan′s salary, and which industry received greatest impact. This study uses time series data from 2000 to 2016 to analysis and discuss the following three industries : service industry, manufacturing industry and all industries, trying to obtain answers of the abovementioned questions. By adding financial industry and electronic manufacture industry, which are the highest FDI amount sub-industry of service industry and manufacturing industry, into the annual data, and uses macroeconomic variable to discuss if quarterly and annually FDI would have greater spillover effect of wage. By using unit root test and cointegration test to make sure all variables are steady state, and furthermore to vertify with self-correlation and heterogeneous test. There is a self-correlation model to make the Prais-Winsten model correction, and the heterogeneous model is corrected by robust, and finally the regression analysis is performed by the OLS least squares method.
