IS LEONTIEF'S PARADOX APPLICABLE TO U.S. AGRICULTURAL TRADE?

Gerald Schluter () and Gene K. Lee

Western Journal of Agricultural Economics, 1978, vol. 03, issue 2, 8

Abstract: The labor and capital intensities of U.S. agricultural trade during 1973, 1974, and 1976 are examined through an input-output model. The empirical results indicate that U.S. agricultural exports tend to be more capital intensive while agricultural imports are more labor intensive, a result counter to Leontief's paradox.
