本研究探讨了离岸外包对制造业活动的当地劳动力市场的影响。本研究的贡献之一是，它开发了1995年至2016年日本的外国子公司-国内母公司-国内工厂的匹配数据，以衡量地方一级的制造业就业和制造业活动的离岸外包。我们的研究结果表明，虽然暴露于中国进口竞争对当地制造业就业产生负面影响，离岸暴露有助于减轻这种负面影响。我们发现，外国制造业就业增加10%，带动当地就业增加1%。我们还发现，离岸暴露有一个显着的积极影响，非离岸公司在同一个本地劳动力市场的就业。我们的研究结果表明，离岸外包对当地就业有负面影响。
This study examines the local labor market effects of offshoring on manufacturing activities. One of the contributions of this study is that it develops matched foreign affiliate-domestic parent-domestic plant data on Japan from 1995 to 2016 to measure the manufacturing employment and offshoring of manufacturing activities at the local level. Our results indicate that while exposure to Chinese import competition negatively affects local manufacturing employment, offshoring exposure contributes to mitigating such negative effects. We find that a 10 percent increase in foreign manufacturing employment drives a 1 percent increase in local employment. We also find that offshoring exposure has a significantly positive effect on the employment of non-offshoring firms in the same local labor market. Our results indicate that offshoring has a negative impact on local employment.
