Foreign Outsourcing and Industrial Employment: the Case of Spain 1993-2002

چکیده
The aim of this paper is to investigate the effect of domestic and foreign outsourcing on level of employment. We will distinguish between narrow outsourcing (intra-industrial purchases of inputs) and broad outsourcing (inputs from all sectors). Outsourcing is calculated using domestic and import – use matrices of input-output tables for 28 Spanish manufacturing industries for the period 1993 to 2002. These data are included in a labour demand function estimated using dynamic panel data techniques. Our main results show that narrow international outsourcing has a negative impact on the demand for labour, while broad measures are not significant. We also include spillover effects to capture technological changes. JEL CLASSIFICATION:; F14; J23; L6; 033
