Abstract: Abstract This chapter, The H-O Growth Model with Economic Structure and Gender, addresses issues related to dynamic interactions between global economic growth, wealth accumulation, gender-differentiated education, and human capital in with endogenous physical and human capital accumulation in a reformed Heckscher-Ohlin model. It is an integration of the H-O model, the Solow-Uzawa neoclassical growth model, the Uzawa-Lucas two-sector model, and the Oniki-Uzawa trade model. Section 10.1 defines the gender-based H-O growth model with endogenous time distribution and human capital accumulation. Section 10.2 is the dynamics and equilibrium. Section 10.3 shows how a rise in the total factor productivity of country 1’s industrial sector affects the system. Section 10.4 follows the motion of the system when the productivity of Country 1’s education sector is enhanced. Section 10.5 examines the impact of a rise in country 2’s propensity to consume country 1’s global commodity. Section 10.6 studies how the system adapts when the man’s propensity to stay at home in country 1 is enhanced. Section 10.7 shows the path of the system when the woman’s propensity to receive education is enhanced. Section 10.8 studies what happens if Country 1’s population is augmented.
