uncertainty by observing offshoring firms' behaviour. The model characterises a sequential offshoring equilibrium path, led by the … Colombia, we test for the determinants and timing of offshoring decisions. We also derive spatial probit structural models to … identify the firms' dynamic trade-off when they decide on the offshoring location. We find supportive evidence for the model …

This paper analyses the relevance of information and communication technologies (ICT) for firms' probability of global sourcing of inputs. Using firm-level data from Germany in 2009, which include mainly small and medium-sized firms, the empirical analysis differentiates between manufacturing...

This paper investigates to which extent outward foreign direct investment (FDI) affects domestic wages. We are first … in a fixed effect model to analyze the effect of outward FDI within job-spells. Results suggest that outward FDI raises … wages for managers and reduces wages for workers performing offshorable tasks. The positive effect of FDI on managers' wages …
