摘要：I introduce an alternative parameter-based definition of component-and headquarter-intensive sectors into the seminal model.of.global.sourcing.by.Antràs.and.Helpman.(2004,.JPE)..This.approach.overcomes.problems.of.the.original.sector definition like counter intuitive classifications or industries that are not classified as either component-or headquarter-intensive. The strong empirical evidence for the model`s predictions is also based on a similar sector definition. With a numerical approach I show that a richer set of sourcing modes can arise in equilibrium. Nonetheless, the.main.results.of.Antràs.and.Helpman.are.robust
