The policy debate views offshoring as job destruction. Theoretical models of offshoring mostly assume full employment … adjustment. At the extensive margin, moving tasks offshore destroys jobs. At the intensive margin, due to higher productivity of …-monotonic adjustment: Early stages of offshoring always lead to higher unemployment, while later stages may entail net job creation. We …

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 …

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 …
