- DOES OFFSHORING PAY? FIRM‐LEVEL EVIDENCE FROM JAPAN (2010, critical): “Thus, the disparity between the results of the present study and those by Görg et al. (2005) suggests that the advantage of multinationals and exporters due to lower search costs of selecting suitable foreign suppliers is static, rather than dynamic.”
- How Does Investing in Cheap Labour Countries Affect Performance at Home? France and Italy (2006, neutral): “Görg et al. (2005) analyse the impact of outsourcing on productivity at the firm level.”
- GLOBAL VALUE CHAINS: A SURVEY OF DRIVERS AND MEASURES (2016, neutral): “The share of affiliate employment in total multinational’s employment is used, for instance, by Head and Ries (2002) for Japan, by Hansson (2005) for Sweden, by Ebenstein et al.”
- Service Offshoring and Productivity: Evidence from the US (2009, neutral): “7 Some evidence has recently been presented of a positive relation between international outsourcing of services and productivity in Irish manufacturing industries (Gorg et al., 2008); however, that study defines offshoring as the opportunity cost of wages rather than the more standard definition us”
- Spillovers Through Backward Linkages from Multinationals: Measurement Matters! (2011, neutral): “This would appear, however, to lie in 4 For example, the studies by Görg et al. (2008) and Amiti and Wei (2009) suggest that the use of internationally outsourced materials or services affects productivity differently than using domestic inputs.”
- Outsourcing versus integration at home or abroad and firm heterogeneity (2010, neutral): “Two related strands of literature look at the effects of imported intermediate inputs on productivity (Amiti and Konings 2007, Kasahara and Rodrigue 2008, Görg et al. 2008) or at importers’ productivity premia (Bernard et al. 2007, Castellani et al. 2008, Muuls and Pisu 2009), respectively.”
- Exports, FDI, and Productivity: Dynamic Evidence from Japanese Firms (2006, methodology): “In case of a continuous dependent variable, the Blundell and Bond (1998) GMM estimator may fix this type of problem as was shown in Görg, Hanley, and Strobl (2005), since it does not require the information on initial conditions.”
- Success and failure of African exporters (2011, neutral): “For instance, Görg et al. (2008) tested the implications of the heterogeneous-firm model of Bernard et al. (2006) on a rich panel of 2,043 Hungarian firms spanning the transition from centrally-planned to market economy (1992-2003).”
