Services – from information technology to research to finance – are now as subject to international trade as goods have been for decades. What are the labor market consequences of the recent surge in services offshoring? While offshoring has traditionally been found to affect only less-skilled workers in industrialized countries, this study finds that services offshoring also has negative consequences for high-skilled workers. Focusing on the case of Germany, Deborah Winkler shows how services offshoring has grown, who is most affected and what policy makers can do. Winkler measures the impact of services offshoring on German productivity, employment, and employment structure. She provides a well-balanced synthesis of theoretical insights, detailed empirical analysis, and economic policy recommendations. Although her main focus is on the case of Germany, many insights are also applicable to other developed countries.

Challenging conventional notions of development, the book presents an institutional theory that redefines the relationship between trade and global value chains. It argues against the simplistic view of development as merely upgrading within these chains, offering a nuanced perspective on how institutions shape trade dynamics and influence economic growth. Through this lens, it explores the complexities of development beyond traditional metrics, providing valuable insights for policymakers and scholars alike.
