Over the last few decades we have witnessed a spectacular integration of global economy with a significant increase in the cross-border movement of goods, services, income and financial flows. The increasing integration of world markets has brought with it an international fragmentation of production processes. One part of this fragmentation involves the relocation of a production process from the home country to a new host country. This note examines the phenomenon of international production relocation through the comparison of several different measures adopted in the literature and in statistical studies. The goal is to evaluate the increased importance reached in the global trade. We pay special attention to Italian firms and highlight the necessity to integrate traditional FDI literature with different approaches and empirical studies which can provide helpful insights on the complex phenomenon of off-shoring business operations.
