“…Specifically, and depending on the services function, estimates suggest that a one-percentage point increase in narrow offshoring reduces manufacturing employment by 1.5% to 3% (Nordås, 2019 complementarity is complexity, i.e. the length of the global value chain, and to a lesser extent ICT intensity and the stringency of the regulatory environment.…”

About 40% of employment in manufacturing is in services functions. This paper develops a measure of narrow outsourcing: the matching of services functions that are performed by workers who are inside manufacturing firms to the same services functions that are provided by outside suppliers. Narrow outsourcing is entered into labour demand functions where labour is classified by business functions. The impact of narrow offshoring on manufacturing labour demand is small on average but depends strongly on the complexity of the value chain, the policy environment, and ICT maturity. The IT and R&D functions are most sensitive to offshoring.
