Update 11/9/2009: The New York Times has a nice piece today from this event.  Most of the focus is on how statistics on productivity could appear rosy as a result of outsourcing. 

Just came across what looks like a fascinating conference examining the effect of globalization on measurement.  Unfortunately, it is happening tomorrow at the Upjohn Institute.  Too bad nobody thought of doing a paper on entrepreneurship as there is likely a significant but unknown effect on how increasing globalization of companies affects the numbers of new firms reported in different countries.
