. 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 …

In a two-sector, general-equilibrium model with labor-market search frictions, we find that wage increases and sectoral unemployment decreases upon offshoring in the presence of perfect intersectoral labor mobility. If, as a result, labor moves to the sector with the lower (or equal) vacancy...

In this paper, in order to study the impact of offshoring on sectoral and economy wide rates of unemployment, we construct a two sector general equilibrium model in which unemployment is caused by search frictions. The model shows that wage increases and sectoral unemployment decreases upon...
