Heckscher-Ohlin Theory when Countries have Different Technologies

No 3118, CESifo Working Paper Series from CESifo

Abstract: Rethinking the foundations of Heckscher-Ohlin theory when countries have different technologies, this paper shows how to make the proper adjustments for international productivity differences. The central tool is a factor conversion matrix that computes the local factor content of foreign Rybczynski effects. Factor-specific productivities are a special case of these more general linear relationships.
