Abstract
This study involves the determination
of outsourcing based on
the market structure, technology
imports and technical efficiency
for the automotive sector in India.
An important characteristic
of this study is that it divides the
automotive sector into two subsectors:
(1) the automobile ancillaries
sectors, which provides the
parts and constitute the upstream
firms and (2) the automobile assemblers
who assemble the automobiles
and sell them to the consumers.
Our analysis confirms
the fact that when the data is segregated
in the two sectors, factors
like technical efficiency of
firms have opposite effect on the
outsourcing tendencies.
