Effects of offshored advanced manufacturing on productivity, and growth

离岸外包可以降低生产成本，但也会减少尖端的先进制造能力和熟练的制造劳动力，并降低未来的增长。由于缺乏适当的数据，很难衡量这些对公司和行业的影响。该项目利用澳大利亚统计局独一无二的数据和新开发的方法，旨在提供衡量公司层面离岸活动和在岸和离岸先进制造能力的新指标。该项目预计将产生有关离岸先进制造业对生产率、增长、产品创新和熟练劳动力影响的新知识。这些发现应该会提供与行业和政策相关的重要新见解

Offshoring can reduce production costs, but it can also reduce cutting-edge advanced manufacturing capability and skilled manufacturing workforce, and reduce future growth. Lack of appropriate data has made it difficult to measure these effects for firms and industries. Using uniquely available data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics and newly developed methods, this project aims to provide new measures of firm level offshoring activity and advanced manufacturing capability onshore and offshore. The project expects to generate new knowledge on the impact of offshored advanced manufacturing on productivity, growth, product innovation, and skilled labour. The findings should provide significant new industry and policy relevant insights
