Abstract: While the literature on anti‐sweatshop campaigns has empirically rejected their negative impact on employment, this study shows that anti‐sweatshop activism had a negative impact on employment for multinational companies in Indonesia. This result suggests that the prior findings are a result of disregarding the differences in some dimensions of firm characteristics between the treatment and control groups.
