Opis

As the world economy becomes more integrated, products become more globalized. Airplanes, automobiles, computers, watches, and garments are among products whose constituent parts are made all over the world. This volume presents arguments and evidence showing that this process is benign: it raises competitiveness, creates jobs, and enhances economic welfare.

Recenzje

Edited by two authors who made early and very important contributions to the theoretical framework for the analysis of fragmentation ... the book can be seen as a well-balanced mix of theoretical and empirical studies, all of which make contributions based on the most important and most recent literature about fragmentation.
