The Impact of Outsourcing to China on Hong Kong's Labor Market
衡量中国1980年开放经济对香港外包及低技能劳动力相对需求的影响，发现外包增加的同时香港对高技能劳动力的相对需求上升，制造业向“外包服务”的工人再分配解释了15%的需求变化，制造业内部高技能利用率提高解释了30%。
We measure the impact of China's decision to open its economy in 1980 on outsourcing from Hong Kong and the relative demand for less-skilled workers. We show that the relative demand for skilled workers in Hong Kong increased at the same time outsourcing to China began to increase. The reallocation of workers from manufacturing to “outsourcing services” can account for 15 percent, and increased utilization of skilled workers within manufacturing industries for 30 percent, of the aggregate relative demand shift. In addition, the rate of skill upgrading has been greater in manufacturing industries that have seen a greater degree of outsourcing to China.
