Alternative Measures of Offshorability: A Survey Approach
通过家庭调查数据，开发了多种度量工作能否从国外完成（离岸外包可能性）的方法，发现约25%的美国工作可离岸外包，且专业编码员评估最准确。
This article reports on household survey measurements of the "offshorability" of jobs, defined as the ability to perform the work from abroad. We develop multiple measures of offshorability, using both self-reporting and professional coders. All measures find that roughly 25% of US jobs are offshorable. Our three preferred measures agree between 70% and 80% of the time. Professional coders appear to provide the most accurate assessments. Empirically, more educated workers appear to hold somewhat more offshorable jobs, and offshorability does not have systematic effects on either wages or the probability of layoff.
