Announcement
Offshoring (such as 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. We hold an international workshop "Frontiers in Research on Offshoring" again this year. The objective of this workshop is to present frontier researches on offshoring.
