Abstract:
This paper analyses outsourcing and the change in production locations from a joint perspective, given that both of them are considered as a decomposition of the value-chain. The first one supposes to divide the production process among a larger set of autonomous firms. The second ones, supposes to divide it among a larger set of emplacements. Although there are some reasons that explain why both of them have become more important along the last few years, both of them are presented as explainable by the classical economic theories.
