This paper analyzes foreign outsourcing over the internet. The authors’ model describes materials and services input allocation from domestic vs foreign suppliers. The results of the study suggest that allocations change when firms outsource online due to access and competition effects. Using OLS and Propensity Score Matching with Difference-in-Differences, the authors find that 42-48 percent of foreign services inputs growth arises from online outsourcing.
