Research Abstract

The main purpose of this study is to examine the effects of outsourcing activities on the economic systems both in Japan and the host countries. We found that these activities are positively associated with the productivity growth across Japanese firms. However, at the same time, we also found that multinational firms have withdrawn from Japan, which partly reduces the productivity growth at the macro level in Japan. China is one of the major host countries of outsourcing from Japanese firms and gains benefits from the positive spillover effects, which somewhat enable Chinese firms to improve their own productivities. Independently of these productivity improvements, this research confirms that the economic globalization in China proceeds.
