Calculation <strong>of</strong> outsourcing measures (imported intermediate inputs) in Figures 2 -<br />
4<br />
This definition is based on Geishecker (2006).<br />
International Outsourcing is measured as the value <strong>of</strong> an industry’s imported intermediate<br />
inputs from industries abroad as a share <strong>of</strong> the domestic industries output. In order to<br />
allocate imports according to their use as inputs across industries we employ input-output<br />
tables <strong>for</strong> <strong>German</strong>y. This enables us to observe the share <strong>of</strong> imports from an industry<br />
abroad that is used by the domestic industry in a given period (denoted k in the equation<br />
below).<br />
Formally, outsourcing in domestic industry j in year t is defined as<br />
OUTjt = ∑ (IMPjt * kjt) / Yjt<br />
where IMP are imports, k is the proportion <strong>of</strong> imports used by the domestic industry, and<br />
Y is industry output. By differentiating imports by the origin while assuming k to be<br />
constant across countries one can construct <strong>of</strong>fshoring measures <strong>for</strong> different geographic<br />
regions.<br />
Data come from Eurostat trade statistics, <strong>German</strong> Input output tables and the OECD<br />
STAN database.<br />
