Off­shor­ing and the la­bour mar­ket: New in­ter­view with Prof. Dr. Baumgarten

New video interview with Prof. Dr. Baumgarten available on Faculti

Prof. Dr. Baumgarten was recently interviewed by the Faculti platform. In the video, he talks about the effects of offshoring on the labour market in various industries and highlights key findings of his research. In particular, a new theoretical model - the General Oligopolistic Equilibrium (GOLE) model - is presented, which takes into account the complex links between industries. This helps to explain why offshoring leads to job losses in some areas and creates jobs in others. The research thus provides important insights for economic policy and the further development of empirical analyses.
