We … highlight this potential through numerical simulations. -- Offshoring ; Trade in Tasks ; Unemployment ; Non-monotonicity …The policy debate views offshoring as job destruction.

We examine the effects of endogenous offshoring on cost-efficiency, wages and unemployment in a task-assignment model … with skill heterogeneity. Exact conditions for the following insights are derived. The distributional effect of offshoring … (high-) low-skill-intensive tasks is similar to (unskilled-) skill-biased technology changes, while offshoring medium …

We allow for simultaneous … offshoring of both skilled and unskilled labor, and we derive new results on the role of factor-bias in offshoring, identifying …
