Abstract: This paper develops a dynamic general equilibrium model to analyze firms’ joint decisions on production offshoring and clean technology adoptions when facing different labor productivities and environmental regulations between home country and offshoring host country. During their decision processes, both workers’ wages and emission levels of related countries are endogenously determined. Later this model is calibrated to match the data on manufacturing workers’ wages in the U.S. and China’s foreign invested enterprises and both countries’ PM2.5 emissions over 1999-2013. This paper quantifies the offshoring levels which is measured by the share of total low-skilled labor-intensive manufacturing production processes shifted from U.S. to China. My paper also gives the long-run predictions . . .
