the association between offshoring within Swedish MNEs and changes their parent employment at regional level (in local …-routine) in the parent. Our results reveal large spatial heterogeneities in the relationships between MNE offshoring and onshore … employment in various regions. The results suggest that MNE offshoring might be a factor contributing to diverging onshore …
