| Tiivistelmä: | The authors set a model, in which firms in a small industrialized country outsource part of their production to a foreign economy, which is rich in low-skilled labour. The analyse, how a decline in trade costs affects outsourcing activities and the production structure in the small economy. Using a panel of Austrian industries, the authors find that decreasing trade barriers - as observed after the fall of the Iron Curtain - indeed stimulate outsourcing to Central and Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union, and that outsourcing to these countries significantly shifts relative employment in favour of high-skilled labour.. |
