At the intensive margin, due to higher productivity of …-monotonic adjustment: Early stages of offshoring always lead to higher unemployment, while later stages may entail net job creation. We …

In this paper, we develop a two-sector general equilibrium trade model which includes offshoring, sequential production … technological change affect equilibrium offshoring patterns. We show that, against common belief, a reduction in trade costs lowers … the range of tasks offshored even though the aggregate volume of offshoring may increase. …
