討論提要

 

This paper explores the issue of strategic outsourcing.  Unlike the outsourcing motivated by cost saving, the strategic outsourcing has a collusive effect that could raise the prices of both intermediate and final goods. This result is very different from those in the literature. And trade liberalization in the intermediate-good market has a opposite effect to trade liberalization in the final-good market.

 

 

 

延伸研究

(1)     Only the effect of liberalization in intermediate-good market on the outsourcing decision is dicussed in this paper.  Liberalization in final-good market should has affect on the direction of outsourcing. Try to find it out.

(2)     Let both of the two governments can set their tariff policy. We can explore whether the direction of outsourcing is affected by the tariff competition between the two countries.

(3)     The optimal tariffs are not discussed in the paper. Try to find out the relationship between tariff and the social welfare.
