Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this study, we demonstrate how ICT-enabled offshoring, driven by cross-border movements of skilled labor, has transformed international trade in services since the 2008 global financial crisis.For this purpose, we employed network theory as an analytical framework, and then we conducted a panel data analysis and graphical modeling analysis. Our analysis yields three observations. First, high-income nations traditionally have stronger services trade links with the U.S due to income level proximity. Second, H-1B and L-1 visas appeal to skilled labor in low-income countries and create intensive human resource networks, leading to the expansion of services trade with the U.S. Third, cross-border human networks of skilled labor, as well as ICT networks, have become more significant driving forces to expand international services trade since 2009, while the impact of income level proximity has become less significant and indirect.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

本研究により、元来は所得水準が近接する先進諸国との間で強化されていた米国のサービス貿易ネットワークが、「情報化のグローバル化」と「人材の国際移動」が進む中で、米印間のオフショアリングに象徴される新たなサービス貿易ネットワークに「繋ぎ変え」られ、その構造がリーマンショック後により強固になったことが検証された。この研究成果からは、21世紀に入ってからのグローバルなサービス貿易拡大は、「情報化のグローバル化」と高度なスキルを有する「人材の国際移動」が重要な決定要因になっており、国際経済の発展を促すサービス貿易の促進政策において重視する必要があるという政策的なインプリケーションが得られる。
