Descripción
The revolution of information and communication technologies has made service offshoring possible and economically feasible. Only a few studies are available on the impact of service offshoring on productivity in the agri-food sector even if service offshoring in agri-food industries has been increasing rapidly in recent years. This paper uses the world input-output data and the Arellano and Bond (1991) GMM estimator to analyze the impact of service offshoring on the productivity of agri-food industries. The results show service offshoring has had a positive impact on the food industry’s productivity due to the characteristics of food industry.
