        %X Our paper investigates the link between outsourcing and wages utilising a large household
panel and combining it with industry level information on industries’ outsourcing activities
from input-output tables. By doing so we can arguably overcome the potential endogeneity
bias as well as other shortcomings that affect industry level studies. We find that
fragmentation has had a marked impact on wages. Distinguishing three skill categories we
find evidence that outsourcing reduced the real wage for workers in the lowest skill
categories; this result is robust to a number of different specifications and definitions of
outsourcing. Furthermore we find some evidence that high-skilled workers experienced
increased wages due to fragmentation.
