Abstract: Trade economists increasingly relate the offshoring of service occupations to occupational task characteristics. This article provides empirical insights into this relationship and supports the importance of the task dimension as a determinant of offshoring patterns. The results further suggest that offshoring is a multidimensional phenomenon and it is advisable to use a comprehensive set of tasks in the empirical analysis to capture most of the relevant offshorability characteristics.
