We revisit Grossman and Rossi-Hansberg's (2008) famous result, that under certain conditions offshoring of low … Rybczynski-type reallocation of factors to absorb offshoring-induced job displacement is ruled out. 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 …

We show that in a Ricardo-Viner-type trade model with unemployment due to search and matching the productivity effect … of offshoring emphasized by Grossman & Rossi-Hansberg (2008) emerges as a vehicle of job creation. Improvements in the … technology of offshoring causes job losses at the extensive margin where ever more tasks are performed abroad, but it also causes …

chapter compares the impact of international trade in intermediate inputs (offshoring) on wage inequality in two distinct but … similar frameworks. In the first framework the profitability of offshoring is based on increasing returns to scale on the task …-level, whereas the second framework relies on differences in relative factor endowments of the two countries involved in offshoring …
