摘要
When engaging in offshoring, firms import not only intermediates they used to produce in-house but also intermediates they previously sourced from non-affiliated domestic suppliers. This leads to a negative demand shock for the latter. We label this demand shock "downstream offshoring" and develop a novel measure capturing its extent for a firm in a given upstream industry. According to our instrumental variables estimations for a rich sample of Belgian manufacturing firms for the period of 1997 to 2007, downstream offshoring has a robust negative effect on employment. Resume Delocalisation en aval et emploi au niveau des entreprises. Dans le cadre de l'internationalisation de leurs processus de production, les entreprises augmentent leurs importations d'inputs intermediaires pour remplacer non seulement des inputs qu'elles produisent en interne mais aussi des inputs achetes aupres de fournisseurs domestiques non-affilies. Cela entraine un choc de demande negatif pour ces derniers. Nous avons appele ce choc delocalisation en aval et developpe un indicateur permettant de mesurer son importance pour des firmes dans un secteur en amont. Basees sur un large echantillon d'entreprises du secteur manufacturier pour les annees 1997-2007 et utilisant des variables instrumentales, nos estimations montrent que les chocs de delocalisation en aval ont un effet negatif robuste sur l'emploi.
