| Streszczenie: | This impressive book provides an excellent, concise, and up-to-date summary of the existing literature on multinational firms and the outsourcing/offshoring of supply chains. Global Production will become an indispensable part of the required reading list for graduate courses in international trade. It will also serve as a reference for scholars in the international trade field and beyond.—Marc Melitz, Harvard University"Global Production is an excellent book and useful tool for graduate students and academics interested in the most recent developments in international trade and, particularly, in the design of global production networks. It is an accessible resource for the models and evidence needed for understanding production chains."—Esteban Rossi-Hansberg, Princeton University Global Production is the first book to provide a fully comprehensive overview of the complicated issues facing multinational companies and their global sourcing strategies. Few international trade transactions today are based on the exchange of finished goods rather, the majority of transactions are dominated by sales of individual components and intermediary services. Many firms organize global production around offshoring parts, components, and services to producers in distant countries, and contracts are drawn up specific to the parties and distinct legal systems involved. Pol Antràs examines the contractual frictions that arise in the international system of production and how these frictions influence the world economy.Antràs discusses the inevitable complications that develop in contract negotiation and execution. He provides a unified framework that sheds light on the factors helping global firms determine production locations and other organizational choices. Antràs also implements a series of systematic empirical tests, based on recent data from the U.S. Customs and Census Offices, which demonstrate the relevance of contractual factors in global production decisions. Using an integrated approach, Global Production is an excellent resource for researchers, graduate students, and advanced undergraduates interested in the inner workings of international economics and trade |
