Abstract
This study attempts to interpret the causes of offshoring and reshoring, find out facilitating factors and the areas where these happen mainly. In viewpoint of self-organization phenomena, the theory of prospect, quantitative analysis is performed by utilizing actual data of American Reshoring Association. This study shows that offshoring to the U.S. is positively correlated with market power in the U.S. and innovation of investment countries, while reshoring to U.S. is positively correlated with market power in the U.S. not with technology innovation. The reshoring of U.S. companies is influencing offshoring to U.S, emerging countries such as Asia tends to focus offshoring in short catch up cycle area like IT. This study is expected to contribute to investment support policy and decision for optimal production site. Further study will complete the economic benefit assessment model by reinforcing the impact factors of reshoring and offshoring.
