我们提出了一个考虑离岸的内生增长模型，以考察离岸对原产国产品创新和增长的影响。离岸外包与海外工厂对国内实验室的反馈减少以及公司海外和国内部门之间的协调问题有关。生产和运输成本参数影响搬迁工厂的静态决策，而不是研发。因此，当离岸外包损害其原产国的增长率时，公司可能会选择离岸外包。特别是，如果离岸外包减少了工厂对实验室的反馈，当原产国规模较大时，很可能会带来动态损失，特别是在研发成本较低、产品差异化较强的行业。它还可能减缓某些行业的增长，在这些行业中，合同的不完备性使离岸部门在公司内部交易中具有很强的讨价还价能力。
We propose an endogenous growth model with offshoring to investigate its effects on product innovation and growth in the country of origin. Offshoring is associated with reduced feedback from offshored plants to domestic labs as well as coordination problems between the offshored and domestic divisions of firms. Production and transport cost parameters affect the static decision to relocate plants but not R&D. Hence, offshoring may be chosen by firms when it damages the growth rate of their countries of origin. In particular, if offshoring reduces the feedback from plants to labs, it is likely to bring dynamic losses when the countries of origin are large, especially in sectors in which R&D is cheap and product differentiation is strong. It is also likely to slow growth in sectors in which contractual incompleteness gives a strong bargaining power to offshored divisions in intra-firm transactions.
