The paper investigates the relationship between offshoring, wages, and the ease with which individuals' tasks can be … suitability of a task for offshoring and the associated skill level. Accordingly, wage effects of offshoring can be very … on offshoring. Our main results suggest that in partial equilibrium, wage effects of offshoring are fairly modest but far …

We set up a general equilibrium model, in which offshoring to a low-wage country can lead to job polarisation in the … pay wages that are positively linked to their profits by a rent-sharing mechanism. Offshoring involves fixed and task … variable offshoring costs. A reduction in those variable costs increases offshoring at the intensive and at the extensive …

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 …
