Working Papers from Dipartimento Scienze Economiche, Universita' di Bologna

Abstract: The paper aims at investigating the structural change implications of outsourcing. In trying to bridge the organizational/industrial and the sectoral/structural analysis of outsourcing, it discusses the rational and the methodological pros and cons of a battery of outsourcing measurements for structural change analysis. Their functioning is then illustrated through a concise application of them to the OECD area over the 80s and the early 90s. A combined used of them emerges as recommendable in checking for the role of outsourcing with respect to that of other structural change determinants.
