The Globalization program's mission is to inform public debate and policy and to promote education on the international impacts of trade and investment. The program focuses on the major impacts of global commerce on people’s lives, on living standards in the developing and developed countries, on prospects for democracy, and on international security.
Services represent the fastest growing sector of the global economy and account for one third of global employment and nearly 20 percent of global trade. The United States leads the world as a service exporter and U.S. prosperity is closely tied to the global economy. At the same time, a hotly contested public debate continues among policymakers, the media, and the public, over the U.S. employment impacts due to international trade and global sourcing in services. Unfortunately, the debate has been based on little concrete data about the actual number of jobs affected. In order to provide a more informed basis for the public debate on this vital topic NBR will be directing a study focused on accurately assessing the impact that international trade and global sourcing have on service jobs in the United States. Results are expected to be published third quarter 2006.
