It finds … that service offshoring has a significant positive effect on productivity in the US, accounting for around 10 percent of … labor productivity growth during this period. Offshoring material inputs also has a positive effect on productivity, but the …

We find that adjusting for cyclical movements in capital utilization alters … many of the empirical characteristics of productivity, both within and across countries …

productivity is decomposed. Price-cost margins exert little influence but the rate of technological change, returns to scale and … the rate of capital adjustment determine productivity growth …

When materials offshoring is measured by estimating imported intermediate inputs, a common assumption used is that an … the 3-digit I-O industry level, there is a correlation of 0.68 between the offshoring shares made with and without the …

impact of this phenomenon on rich countries have stressed either a (positive) productivity effect associated with increased … offshoring in the short run and in the long run (when technology levels are endogenous). The short-run analysis shows that when … research efforts in response to increased offshoring. In particular, the rich country always gains from increased fragmentation …

Beginning in 2004, official statistics display a slowdown in U.S. productivity growth. We show how offshore profit … shifting by U.S. multinational enterprises affects GDP and, thus, productivity measurement. Profit shifting increased in the … mid- 1990s, resulting in lower measured productivity growth. We construct value added adjusted for profit shifting. The …
