Abstract: The theorised reorganisation of global value chains (GVCs) during crises periods and the European Union advocating for a relaunch of manufacturing activities in favour of jobs creation bring about the crucial question whether a relaunch of manufacturing employment via backshoring in Europe takes place with an intensity large enough to be captured by aggregate statistics. Defining backshoring as a process according to which production of a region uses again a greater share of domestic relative to foreign inputs, the paper operationalises the definition using suitable indicators at the NUTS-2 level and tests the relationship between backshoring and regional manufacturing employment dynamics.
