In this paper, we explore the role of trade in differentiated final goods as well offshoring of tasks for inequality …

In this paper we explore the role that demand uncertainty plays for the offshoring decision, and the role that … offshoring plays for domestic volatility of employment. Offshoring is modeled as in Antràs & Helpman (2004), but we assume … firm's employment decision in its domestic and offshore production. In this environment, offshoring is driven by …

by the cost of task trade. Comparing orders of magnitude we conclude that offshoring between similar countries only has a … small positive effect on the managerial wage premium, compared to offshoring between countries with a different relative …
