Reviews
Publisher Synopsis
"The author of the leading graduate textbook in International Trade has done it again! In this book, Robert Feenstra offers an accessible and essential overview of recent developments in the understanding of the process of offshoring. Students and practitioners alike will benefit from his insightful review of both his pioneering work on the topic as well as the work of other important contributors to this literature." --Pol Antras, Department of Economics, Harvard University "Robert Feenstra's well-deserved reputation for effectively combining innovative theory with well-organized data analysis is on display in this book, which describes his important contributions to the theory and evidence of offshoring and also summarizes the substantial recent literature. This is a welcome addition to the offshoring debate." --Edward E. Leamer, Chauncey J. Medberry Professor of Management, and Director, UCLA Anderson Forecast "Robert Feenstra has been a pioneer in the economic analysis of offshoring. His Ohlin lectures provide an elegant synthesis of how economists think about the globalization of production, tracing its effects on the structure of wages, the factor context of trade, the measurement of productivity, and the volatility of the macroeconomy. This volume is essential reading for scholars and policy analysts with an interest in how international trade transforms market economies." --Gordon Hanson, School of International Relations and Pacific Studies, University of California, San Diego Read more...
