Theoretical and Empirical Studies of Firms and Outsourcing in the International Trade

本研究从理论和实证两个方面考察了企业异质性以及市场属性和制度因素的差异对企业的产品和服务生产与出口、对外直接投资、离岸外包、研发和创新决策的影响。理论研究提出了独特的创新动态一般均衡模型和商品与服务贸易模型，并利用微观面板数据进行了统计分析，为企业异质性、外包与R&D之间的关系提供了经验证据。

This research both theoretically and empirically examines what effects firm heterogeneity and the difference in market attributes and institutional factors have on the firm's decision of the production and export of goods and services, foreign direct investment, offshore outsourcing, R & D, and innovation. The theoretical studies present the unique dynamic general equilibrium model of innovation and the trade model of goods and services, and the statistical analysis, using the micro-level panel data, shows the empirical evidence on the relation between the firm heterogeneity, outsourcing and R & D.
