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 …

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 …
