• Recent Findings on Trade and Inequality (2010, neutral): “Adapting Feenstra and Hanson (1999) to measure service offshoring, Amiti and Wei (2009) provide evidence for the effects of both service and material offshoring on domestic productivity growth. Using US Bureau of Labor Statistics data from 1992-2000, they find that service offshoring has a significa”
• The Relationship Between Global Value Chains and Productivity (2017, background): “These build upon earlier studies using industry-level measures of offshoring from the perspective of the offshoring country (e.g. Egger and Egger, 2006; Amiti and Wei, 2009; Winkler, 2010).”
• Spillovers Through Backward Linkages from Multinationals: Measurement Matters! (2011, neutral): “(2008) and Amiti and Wei (2009) suggest that the use of internationally outsourced materials or services affects productivity differently than using domestic inputs. Also, Munch and Skagsten (2009) show that internationally outsourced and domestically sourced inputs have different effects on wages f”

(2017, neutral): “…include older strands of work focusing on benefits to countries that initiate offshoring (Feenstra and Hanson 1996; Egger and Egger 2006; Amiti and Wei 2009; Winkler 2010), but also recent efforts that analyze the impact of vertical specialization on countries participating in GVCs…”
• Economic upgrading through global value chain participation: which policies increase the value-added gains? (2017, background): “…that services offshoring significantly increases productivity, while the effect of materials offshoring is smaller or insignificant: including Amiti and Wei (2006, 2009) for U.S. manufacturing between 1992 and 2000, Crino (2008) for nine EU countries between 1990 and 2004, Winkler (2010) for…”
