The concern is that economies with relatively high labour costs are adversely affected by labour demand shifting towards economies with lower labour costs, thereby reducing job stability and increasing unemployment. One mechanism which is suspected of leading to such an evolution is international outsourcing, which occurs when a domestic firm subcontracts a (production) process to a foreign supplier. While a number of theoretical papers has underlined the importance of international outsourcing for relative labour demand and factor prices (see, for instance, Feenstra and Hanson, 1996a; Arndt, 1997; Deardorff, 2001; Kohler, 2004), no consensus has yet emerged in this regard. Depending on the specific modelling approach, low-skilled workers may lose or benefit from outsourcing. More importantly, there are very few theoretical contributions which depart from the assumptions of full employment and perfect factor mobility, or which analyse the short-run dynamics of the globalisation of the production process and the ensuing consequences for the labour market. One noteworthy exception is the article by Mitra and Ranjan (2010), who analyse the impact of outsourcing on unemployment within a two-sector model with search frictions in the labour market. In this model, outsourcing will generate an increase in wages and a decrease in sectoral unemployment if labour is mobile between sectors. This result stands at odds with the public perception where international outsourcing is mainly associated with employment losses. However, it is in line with the argument stressed by t
