Offshoring and non-monotonic employment effects across industries in general equilibrium
Baumgarten, Daniel; Irlacher, Michael; Koch, Michael - 2020
We address the mismatch between existing theoretical models and standard empirical practice in the analysis of the labor market effects of offshoring. While theory focuses on one-sector or two-sector models, empirical studies exploit variation in offshoring across a large number of industries,...
