. Service trade, however, like goods trade, is subject to strong distance effects, implying that the remote supply of services … remains limited. We investigate this proposition by deriving a gravity-like equation for service trade and estimating it for a … large sample of countries and different categories of service trade. We find that distance costs are high but are declining …

This paper provides new evidence on how offshoring shifts relative labor demand for tasks at the industry level. A novel theoretical mechanism, based on sorting of heterogeneous workers into occupations with task dependent offshoring cost, guides estimation. Cost shares of tasks are linked to...
