Globalization, outsourcing, and wage inequality
Article Abstract:
The effect of outsourcing on the demand for skilled workers in the US is examined by developing a model using import data from the National Bureau of Economic Research and input purchase data from the 'Census of Manufactures.' Regression estimates reveal that for the period 1972-1979, outsourcing has not significantly affected the demand for labor. On the other hand, results for the 1979-1990 period show a positive relationship between the two variables.
