Chinkook Lee, Darryl Wills and Gerald Schluter

Agricultural Economics, 1988, vol. 2, issue 3, 259-272

Abstract: Factor intensity of United States agricultural trade is examined in the context of Leontief's classic paradox using Leontief's method as well as methods developed recently by Leamer and others. Findings indicate that factor endowments are important determinants of U.S. agriculture's comparative advantage in trade as suggested by the Heckscher‐Ohlin theory.
