Using a measure of the volume of offshoring conducted by 62 countries, the intrinsic properties of the global offshoring network are analyzed: size, density, and others. From these properties, we extract information about which countries and sectors of the economy are the main drivers of the network. We find a regularity through the network of all sectors, which we call a stylized fact, that yields an insight into the uniform trade integration of countries through time. Additionally, we construct the measure of implied comparative advantage (ICA) – proposed by Hausmann et al. (2019. Implied comparative advantage) – and empirically verify, for the offshoring conducted by these 62 countries, the hypothesis of a systematic correlation between pairs of industries across different countries. Finally, since the ICA measure is a predictor of the revealed comparative advantage for the offshoring, we verify that the ICA measure preserves the basic properties of the original offshoring network.

离岸外包网络分析:离岸外包隐含比较优势的经验证据

使用对62个国家/地区进行的离岸外包量的度量,分析了全球离岸外包网络的内在属性:规模,密度等。从这些属性中,我们提取有关哪些国家和地区经济是网络的主要驱动力的信息。我们通过所有部门的网络找到规律性,我们称其为程式化的事实,可以洞悉国家在一段时间内的统一贸易一体化。此外,我们构建了隐含的比较优势(ICA)的量度–由Hausmann等人提出。(2019年。隐含的比较优势)–并就这62个国家的离岸外包进行经验验证,证明了不同国家/地区的产业对之间存在系统相关性的假设。最后,
