論文提要 |
This paper presents a model that helps explain incomplete outsourcing
in the presence of spillovers. Outsourcing may require training of workers in
the low wage economy. Such training yields spillover benefit to rival firms
located in the low wage economy. The outsourcing firm must balance the
marginal gain (cost saving) with the marginal cost (lowering rivals’ cost).
To keep our story simple, we construct a model of international
duopoly with differentiated products. We show that under certain assumptions
on parameter values, a firm may choose incomplete outsourcing. A surprising
result is that an increase in the training cost of labor in the low wage economy
will increase the extent of outsourcing, and decrease the employment level of
the foreign rival. |
