Although the apparent growth of offshore outsourcing and offshoring of intermediate goods and services has spurred a heated debate overits effects on the U.S. economy and

workers, our ability to assess these impacts is hampered by the limitations of government data.

 ……The Upjohn Institute, in collaboration with the National Academy
of Public Administration, received grants from the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation and the U.S.

Bureau of Economic Analysis to fund new research and a conference in fall

2009 focusing on measurement problems associated with the growth of outsourcing

and offshoring. The goal of this project is to generate and disseminate a substantial

new body of research on selected measurement problems that previously have received little attention.
