AI-generated Abstract
This paper examines the intertwined dynamics of offshoring, immigration, and their impacts on labor markets through a micro-level perspective. The thrust of the discussion stems from concerns regarding job displacement and wage effects in home countries due to offshoring and competition from immigrant workers. It highlights the dichotomy where these processes can simultaneously reduce the demand for native labor while improving productivity and competitiveness, potentially fostering job growth in complementary tasks. The special section features research contributions that explore immigration's effects on firm performance, the correlation between job characteristics and wages related to offshoring, and the role of labor institutions in moderating these impacts.
