Services from information technology to research to finance are
now as subject to international trade as goods have been for
decades. What are the labor market consequences of the recent surge
in services offshoring? While offshoring has traditionally been
found to affect only less-skilled workers in industrialized
countries, this study finds that services offshoring also has
negative consequences for high-skilled workers. Focusing on the
case of Germany, Deborah Winkler shows how services offshoring has
grown, who is most affected and what policy makers can do. Winkler
measures the impact of services offshoring on German productivity,
employment, and employment structure. She provides a well-balanced
synthesis of theoretical insights, detailed empirical analysis, and
economic policy recommendations. Although her main focus is on the
case of Germany, many insights are also applicable to other
developed countries. "
