| Abstract | This paper examines the impact of offshoring on labour demand and labour demand elasticities for a sample of 40 countries over the period 1995-2009 using the recently compiled World Input-Output Database (WIOD). Estimating conditional and unconditional labour demand models we find that both narrow and broad offshoring have impacted positively upon labour demand, an effect driven by the scale effect of offshoring. Despite this observed benefit of offshoring, we also show that offshoring has tended to increase labour demand elasticities, which can increase the vulnerability and reduce the bargaining power of workers. |
