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...

We quantify the impact of offshoring and other globalisation measures on individual perceptions of job security. For the analysis we combine industry-level offshoring measures with micro-level data from a large German household panel survey and estimate ordinal fixed effects models. Our results...

The paper assesses perceived job insecurity as a determinant of current subjective well-being and demonstrates that standard models may yield significantly downward biased estimates.

This paper investigates the effects of services offshoring on wages using individual-level data combined with industry information on offshoring for the United Kingdom. Our results show that services offshoring affects the real wage of low- and medium-skilled individuals negatively. By contrast,...

By running Monte Carlo simulations, we compare different estimation strategies of ordered response models in the presence of non-random unobserved heterogeneity. We find that very simple binary recoding schemes deliver parameter estimates with very low bias and high efficiency. Furthermore, if...

Ungeachtet der weitgehend vollzogenen Marktöffnung in den Ländern der mittel- und osteuropäischen EU-Beitrittskandidaten blieb die Entwicklung der Warenausfuhren Berlins in diese Region bisher weit hinter den Erwartungen zurück. Zwar spielen die EU-Beitrittskandidaten für die...
