碩士 / 國立中央大學 / 產業經濟研究所 / 105 / Under the influence of globalization, Taiwan’s firms began to offshore part of their production process vary rapidly. The existing literature on the offshoring and firm’s performance provides some evidence that offshoring can increase productivity, but the identified effects are quite heterogeneous depending on the analysed country, the type of firms or the type of offshored inputs. Our purpose is to find the causal effect of offshoring and firm’s performance in Taiwan’s manufacture. This paper uses 2011 Taiwan’s manufacture census data and panel data of 2006 and 2011. We use OLS、Logit Model and PSM to estimate the effect of outsourcing and offshoring on firm’s performance. Our empirical results show that outsourcing and offshoring is positive with firm’s performance regardless of labor productivity, total factor productivity, innovation, technical sale or staff ratio. In addition, there are heterogeneity effect of outsourcing and offshoring on firm’s performance under different firmsize and different industry. The industry with high proportion of foreign outsourcing, including clothing manufacturing industry, rubber products manufacturing industry and electronic products manufacturing industry, engaged in foreign outsourcing has a significant improvement in productivity. But the industry with low proportion of foreign outsourcing would not. The effect of outsourcing or offshoring on the small firm’s labor productivity is much more than on the large firm’s labor productivity. This paper also uses Propensity Score Matching to solve the endogenous problem. The empirical result shows that either firms start to engage in offshoring or continue to engage in offshoring are significant positive with firm’s labor productivity growth rate. Confirmed that it has a causal relationship.
