本文对外包和整合的选择进行了实证分析，并根据生产是在国内还是国外进行区分。使用意大利的公司层面数据，我们发现相对于外包，对整合的偏好与总部密集度指标（尤其是资本密集度）以及公司层面的生产率呈正相关。我们还发现，国外采购策略并不独立于国内采购策略。总体而言，证据为基于关系特定投资的模型提供了支持。版权所有 2012 作者 2012。由牛津大学出版社代表 ICC 协会出版。保留所有权利。牛津大学出版社。
This article provides an empirical analysis of the choice between outsourcing and integration, with a distinction based on whether production is carried out at home or abroad. Using firm-level data for Italy, we find that the preference for integration over outsourcing is positively related to indicators of headquarter intensity, notably capital intensity, and to firm-level productivity. We also find that foreign sourcing strategies are not independent from domestic sourcing strategies. Overall, the evidence provides support to models based on relationship-specific investments.
