Title: The effect of high-tech services offshoring on skilled employment: intra-firm evidence
Title: El efecto del Offshoring de servicios de alta tecnología sobre el empleo cualificado: evidencia intra-empresa
Abstract: The offshoring of high-tech services has greatly increased in recent years, with consequences for firms 
	demand for skilled employment in firms. This paper specifically analyzes the relationship between R&D 
	offshoring and the demand for R&D employment using firm-level data for Spanish manufacturing and services 
	companies during the period 2004-2009. Estimating different specifications with panel data techniques, we 
	find that this association is statistically positive. In particular, if R&D offshoring doubles, the demand 
	for researchers will raise by about 8%. 
Abstract: Este trabajo analiza la relación entre el offshoring de I+D y la demanda de 
	investigadores utilizando datos de empresas españolas manufactureras y de servicios 
	durante el período 2004-2009. A partir de la estimación de una ecuación de demanda de 
	investigadores con técnicas de datos de panel, encontramos que esta asociación es 
	estadísticamente positiva. En particular, los resultados sugieren que si las empresas 
	duplicaran sus compras de servicios de I+D en el extranjero, su demanda de 
	investigadores aumentaría alrededor del 8%.
