Do labour market institutions matter? Micro-level wage effects of international outsourcing in three European countries
Ingo Geishecker, Holger Görg and Jakob Roland Munch
Abstract: This paper studies the impact of outsourcing on individual
wages in three European countries with markedly different labour market
institutions: Germany, the UK and Denmark. To do so we use individual level
data sets for the three countries and construct comparable measures of
outsourcing at the industry level, distinguishing outsourcing by broad
region. Estimating the same specification on different data show that there
are some interesting differences in the effect of outsourcing across
countries. We discuss some possible reasons for these differences based on
labour market institutions.
