  Global Trade in Services: Fear

  Facts

  and Offshoring

  The service sector is large and growing. Additionally

  international trade in services is growing rapidly. Yet there is a dearth of empirical research on the size

  scope and potential impact of services trade. The underlying source of this gap is well-known—official statistics on the service sector in general

  and trade in services in particular

  lack the level of detail available for the manufacturing sector in many dimensions. Because services are such a large and important component of the US economy

  understanding the implications of increased trade in services is crucial to the trade liberalization agenda going forward. In this path-breaking book

  J. Bradford Jensen conducts primary research using a range of data sources to produce the most detailed and robust portrait available on the size

  scope

  and potential impact of trade in services on the US economy.\n\nJensen presents new evidence on the prevalence of service firm participation in international trade. He finds that

  in spite of US comparative advantage in service activities

  service firms' export participation lags manufacturing firms. Jensen evaluates the impediments to services trade and finds evidence that there is considerable room for liberalization—especially among the large

  fast-growing developing economies. The policy recommendations coming out of this path-breaking study are quite clear. The United States should not fear trade in services. It should be pushing aggressively for services trade liberalization.
