• Off-shoring and productivity growth in the Italian manufacturing industries (2008, unknown): “Our empirical specification is very similar to some of the specifications adopted by Amiti and Wei (2006) in their study on the US economy.”
• DOES OFFSHORING PAY? FIRM‐LEVEL EVIDENCE FROM JAPAN (2010, unknown): “ Amiti and Wei (2006) also observe that the effect of offshoring increases once they control for the correlation between offshoring and unobserved productivity shocks.”
