In this paper we explore the role that demand uncertainty plays for the offshoring decision, and the role that … offshoring plays for domestic volatility of employment. Offshoring is modeled as in Antràs & Helpman (2004), but we assume … firm's employment decision in its domestic and offshore production. In this environment, offshoring is driven by …

This paper studies the relationship between immigration and offshoring by examining whether an influx of foreign … of immigrants into a municipality reduces firm-level offshoring at both the extensive and intensive margins.

We develop a theoretical framework to explain firms' offshoring decisions in the presence of uncertainty.
