Abstract

This chapter discusses how to measure cross-border outsourcing based on statistical data. We refer to the advantages and limitations of each measurement, primarily Japanese official statistics, in capturing and quantifying cross-border outsourcing. Statistics covered in this chapter include Input–Output (I-O) tables, custom-clearance statistics, Balance of Payment (BoP)Balance of Payment (BoP) , and FDI statistics. Japanese unique statistics, through which we derive micro-data for our original research, are not included in the discussion of this chapter, but will be separately explained in detail in the next chapter. Although our research depends solely on statistical data, we briefly refer to business cases that motivate our research.
