Announcement
Offshoring (foreign direct investment and foreign outsourcing) has played a crucial role in recent globalization. Offshoring affects both domestic and foreign production, employment, research and development (R&D), etc. Thus, it is useful for policymaking to investigate both the determinants and effects of offshoring. The objective of this workshop is to present the frontier research on offshoring.
