Canals, Claudia; Şener, Fuat - In: Journal of Development Economics 108 (2014) C, pp. 17-31
This paper empirically assesses the responsiveness of US offshoring to intellectual property rights (IPR) reforms in 16 … countries. We construct a measure of US offshoring at the industry level based on trade in intermediate goods, covering 23 … industries for the period 1973–2006. For each industry, we differentiate between broad offshoring and intra-industry offshoring …

Multinationals, Endogenous Growth and Technological Spillovers: Theory and Evidence
Baldwin, Richard; Braconier, Henrik; Forslid, Rikard - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 1999
FDI has received surprisingly little attention in theoretical and empirical work on openness and growth. This paper presents a theoretical growth model where MNCs directly affect the endogenous growth rate via technological spillovers. This is novel since other endogenous growth models with...

Offshoring, tasks, and the skill-wage pattern
Baumgarten, Daniel; Geishecker, Ingo; Görg, Holger - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2010
The paper investigates the relationship between offshoring, wages, and the ease with which individuals' tasks can be … suitability of a task for offshoring and the associated skill level. Accordingly, wage effects of offshoring can be very … on offshoring. Our main results suggest that in partial equilibrium, wage effects of offshoring are fairly modest but far …

Offshoring, tasks, and the skill-wage pattern
Baumgarten, Daniel; Geishecker, Ingo; Görg, Holger - In: European Economic Review 61 (2013) C, pp. 132-152
The paper investigates the relationship between offshoring, wages, and the occupational task profile using rich … individual-level panel data. Our main results suggest that, when only considering within-industry changes in offshoring, we … identify a moderate wage reduction due to offshoring for low-skilled workers, though wage effects in relation to the task …
