Relevant empirical literature – Offshoring and the labour market
Pioneering papers: Feenstra & Hanson (1996, 1999)standard measurement of offshoring, US data, relative wages
Follow-up papers: Strauss-Kahn (2002), Falk & Koebel (2002), Hijzen et al. (2005)European countries, employment of low-skilled workers
Extensions and related papers: Egger & Egger (2003), Amiti & Wei (2005, 2006), Falk & Wolfmayr (2005)low-wage countries, services offshoring, total employment

Offshoring and employment
Impact on total employment:- jobs lost: those employed in the offshored activity- cheaper inputs
productivity gain in downstream production stages further reduction in employment, or expansion of production and employment
- caveats: terms of trade, relative factor demands

Relevant empirical literature – Offshoring and total employment
Seven papers: Amiti & Wei (2005, 2006), Cadarso et al. (2008), Falk & Wolfmayr (2005, 2008), OECD (2007a, 2007b)
Labour demand framework augmented by offshoring term Individual country vs. Panel of countries Industry-level data Differences: calculation of the offshoring intensity, measure of
employment (FTE or hours), controls, estimation methods,… Different results…

Measuring offshoring
Standard measure (Feenstra & Hanson, 1996): oti = ∑jIIIij / Yi
Mostly computed proportionally using data from Input-Output tables and trade statistics
Split into materials and business services offshoring omi and osi
Split III by country of origin (Egger & Egger, 2003) Narrow offshoring vs Broad offshoring (Feenstra & Hanson, 1999)

Measuring offshoring
For Belgium:- supply and use tables, 1995-2003- NA vintage 2007- constant prices of 2000- use tables of imports (imported intermediates)- offshoring to different regions (oecd, ceec, asia)

Estimation framework
Conditional labour demand in log-linear form:Lit = α + β1 wit + β2 rit + γ Yit
Augment by offshoring variables in logs: omit and osit
Make it testable (time and industry dummies, disturbance term, lags of explanatory variables):
Lit = αt + β1 wit + β2 wit-1 + γ1 Yit + γ2 Yit +
(θ1 omit + θ2 osit + θ3 omit-1 + θ4 osit-1) + εi + uit
Regional splits (oecd, ceec, asia) can also be introduced Estimate (fixed effects) for 58 manufacturing and 35 service
industries

Results – summary
Controls:- w: negative significant elasticity- Y: positive significant elasticity
Offshoring variables: almost always not significant, in some cases om has a small positive impact on employment in manufacturing industries
Offshoring does not have a significant impact on total employment in Belgium, the number of jobs lost due to offshoring is small compared to total labour market turnover.

Robustness tests
Measure offshoring as share in total intermediate inputs instead of output
Apply an industry-level correction for self-employed Estimate unconditional labour demand replacing output in
volume by its price Specify a dynamic model with an autoregressive term and
estimate it using GMM (dif and sys)
The offshoring coefficients remained overwhelmingly non-significant.

Conclusion
Improved measure for offshoring (data on imported intermediates, coherent constant price dataset)
First estimations for Belgium Estimations for both manufacturing and market service sectors Results: offshoring has no significant impact on total employment
- in line with earlier findings- small job loss compared to overall labour market turnover
Further research:- impact of offshoring on productivity- impact on employment of low-skilled workers
