| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Combining Japanese task and industry data with input-output tables from 1995 to 2005, we analyzed the correlation between trade volume and task demands by industry. As theories of offshoring predict, if the offshoring significantly occurs, the demands for service and production tasks decline while the demand for skilled or capital intensive tasks increases. The estimation results suggest that Japan’s export goods have become more skilled or capital intensive and it is reflected in the change of Japan’s comparative advantage structure.
