We set up a general equilibrium model, in which offshoring to a low-wage country can lead to job polarisation in the … pay wages that are positively linked to their profits by a rent-sharing mechanism. Offshoring involves fixed and task … variable offshoring costs. A reduction in those variable costs increases offshoring at the intensive and at the extensive …

This paper sets up a two-country model of offshoring with monopolistically competitive product and monopsonistically … competitive labour markets. In our model, an incentive for offshoring exists even between symmetric countries, because shifting … labour market power. However, offshoring between symmetric countries has negative welfare effects and therefore calls for …

-level Trade in Value Added (TiVA) indicators of offshoring and domestic outsourcing. The results suggest that employment in all … observed between the offshoring of inputs and domestic outsourcing with more routine-intensive jobs. Taken together, the … types of occupations positively relate to innovation. With respect to offshoring patterns, a positive correlation is …

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, typically including a linear offshoring term in the analysis …. Thereby, these studies implicitly assume a monotonic relationship between offshoring and labor market outcomes and ignore …
