题目：Terms of Trade Gains from Task Offshoring and Complementarity between Tasks

摘要：In this paper, I show that there are terms of trade effects associated with task offshoring. The offshoring source country may enjoy terms of trade gains associated with offshoring when the elasticity of substitution between tasks is low. These gains may stem from technology transfer from the source to the destination country or from the productivity improvement in the offshoring destination. Importantly, the offshoring destination country may suffer a total welfare loss due to the terms of trade effects. I illustrate that the source country will enjoy larger terms of trade gains when the elasticity of substitution between tasks is smaller and when the comparative advantage schedule has a steeper slope at the cutoff task.
