Funded Activity Summary

Effects of offshored advanced manufacturing on productivity, and growth. Offshoring can reduce production costs, but it can also reduce cutting-edge advanced manufacturing capability and skilled manufacturing workforce, and reduce future growth. Lack of appropriate data has made it difficult to measure these effects for firms and industries. Using uniquely available data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics and newly developed methods, this project aims to provide new measures of firm level offshoring activity and advanced manufacturing capability onshore and offshore. The project expects to generate new knowledge on the impact of offshored advanced manufacturing on productivity, growth, product innovation, and skilled labour. The findings should provide significant new industry and policy relevant insights
