We study the staggered diffusion of broadband internet in France in the 2000s, and show that connected firms increased their outsourcing expenditures while decreasing the diversity of occupations they employ in-house. Meanwhile, employment in non-core occupations became increasingly concentrated in firms specializing in subcontracting services. Finally, we provide evidence that workers in high-skill occupation experienced salary gains from being outsourced, while workers in low-skill occupations lost out. Overall, we show that the deployment of new technologies stimulated domestic outsourcing in this context, with important implications for labor market inequality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Does domestic outsourcing react to technological change?
