abstract: 'The paper investigates the consequences of outsourcing of labor
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
intensive activities to low-wage economies. This trend challenges the
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
two basic functions of the welfare state, redistribution and social
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
insurance when private unemployment insurance markets are missing. The
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
main results are: (i) outsourcing raises unemployment and labor income
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
risk of unskilled workers; (ii) it increases inequality between high-
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
and low-income groups; and (iii) the gains from outsourcing can be made
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Pareto improving by using a redistributive linear income tax if
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
redistribution is initially not too large. We finally derive the welfare
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
optimal redistribution and unemployment insurance policies. (C) 2009
