Titolo: The effects of production offshoring on R&D and innovation in the home country
Periodico: Economia e politica industriale
Anno: 2015 - Volume: 42 - Fascicolo: 1 - Pagina iniziale: 9 - Pagina finale: 31

We investigate the effects of production offshoring on the innovation activities of manufacturing firms in the home country. The analysis is based on a dataset of more than 3,000 manufacturing firms from seven European countries. We find that offshoring firms on average employ a higher share of R&D and design personnel, introduce new products more frequently to the market, and invest more frequently in advanced process technologies compared to non-offshoring firms. Concerns that offshoring may hurt innovation because of the lost links between production and product development are not supported by the evidence.
