The document summarizes the Heckscher-Ohlin (H-O) theory of international trade. The H-O theory states that countries will export goods that use their abundant and cheap factors of production intensively and import goods that use their scarce factors intensively. It assumes countries differ in their endowments of capital and labor. The theory shows that capital-abundant countries will export and produce capital-intensive goods, while labor-abundant countries will export and produce labor-intensive goods. The theory represents an improvement over previous theories in explaining the basis of trade between countries within a general equilibrium framework.
The trade theory that first indicated importance of specialization in production and division of labor is based on the idea of theory of absolute advantage which is developed first by Adam Smith in his famous book The Wealth of Nations published in 1776.
Smith argued that it was impossible for all nations to become rich simultaneously by following mercantilism because the export of one nation is another nation’s import and instead stated that all nations would gain simultaneously if they practiced free trade and specialized in accordance with their absolute advantage. Smith also stated that the wealth of nations depends upon the goods and services available to their citizens, rather than their gold reserves. While there are possible gains from trade with absolute advantage, the gains may not be mutually beneficial. Comparative advantage focuses on the range of possible mutually beneficial exchanges.
Adam Smith argued that a country has an absolute advantage in the production of a product when it is more efficient than any other country producing it.
Countries should specialize in the production of goods for which they have an absolute advantage and then trade these goods for the goods produced by other countries
In economics, principle of absolute advantage refers to the ability of a party (an individual, or firm, or country) to produce more of a good or service than competitors, using the same amount of resources.
J.S. Mill developed Ricardo's theory of comparative costs by introducing the concept of reciprocal demand. Reciprocal demand refers to the intensity of demand one country has for another country's exports. Mill argued that terms of trade are determined by the relative strength and elasticity of reciprocal demand between countries, as represented by their offer curves. While pioneering, Mill's theory makes unrealistic assumptions and neglects supply-side factors, leading some economists to criticize it as an imperfect framework for analyzing international trade.
Adam Smith first proposed the theory of absolute advantage in his 1776 publication "An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations" as a rebuttal to mercantilism. The theory argues that countries should specialize in and export goods they can produce at a lower relative cost than other nations, and import goods that other nations can produce at a lower cost, resulting in more global production and wealth overall. An example shows that France has an absolute advantage in wine production while Japan has an advantage in clock and radio production based on their differing labor outputs.
David Ricardo originated the theory of comparative cost advantage in his 1817 book. The theory states that countries will export goods that they have a lower relative production cost in and import goods with higher relative costs, even if one country may have an absolute cost advantage in all goods. The theory assumes two countries and goods, homogeneous and mobile factors of labor, no transportation or trade barriers, and constant returns to scale. England has a lower relative cost (cost advantage) in cloth and Portugal has a lower cost in wine, so each country specializes and gains from trade by exporting their lower cost good and importing the other good. However, the theory makes unrealistic assumptions and does not consider all real-world complexities of international trade.
Mercantilism encouraged exports and discouraged imports to accumulate wealth, usually in gold and silver. Adam Smith argued that free trade and specializing in absolute advantages benefits countries more. Comparative advantage theory extended this by showing even without absolute advantages, all countries gain from trade. Porter's diamond model explains how national competitive advantages arise from factor conditions, demand conditions, related/supporting industries, and firm strategy/rivalry within a country.
Classical Theory Of International TradeKRN_KPR2010
The document discusses theories of international trade, including:
1) David Ricardo's theory of comparative advantage, which states that countries should specialize in goods they have a comparative cost advantage in.
2) Absolute and comparative differences in costs as bases for international trade according to Adam Smith and Ricardo respectively.
3) Equal differences in costs not providing a basis for trade between countries with equal production ratios.

2) Absolute and comparative differences in costs as bases for international trade according to Adam Smith and Ricardo respectively.
3) Equal differences in costs not providing a basis for trade between countries with equal production ratios.
The document summarizes David Ricardo's theory of comparative advantage. It explains that according to Ricardo, countries can benefit from trade even if they do not have an absolute advantage in producing goods, as long as they have a comparative advantage in at least one good. This is illustrated using data showing that while England has higher absolute costs of production than Portugal for both wine and cloth, it has a lower relative production cost for cloth, giving it a comparative advantage. International trade allows both countries to specialize in the goods they have a comparative advantage in, increasing total world output.
Meeting 3 - Rybczynski theorem (International Economics)Albina Gaisina
The document discusses several economic concepts:
1) The Rybczynski theorem explains that if a country's supply of one factor increases, it will produce more of the good that intensively uses that factor and less of the other good.
2) Dutch disease refers to an economic phenomenon where resource discovery leads to decline of other sectors through currency appreciation and a shift in economic activity.
3) The resource curse or paradox of plenty suggests that countries with an abundance of natural resources tend to have less economic growth and worse development outcomes than countries with fewer natural resources, due to issues like overdependence on commodity exports and weak institutions.
The Heckscher-Ohlin theorem states that countries will export goods that use their abundant and cheap factor of production and import goods that use their scarce factor. It emphasizes differences in factor abundance as the source of comparative advantage and trade. Developed by Eli Heckscher and Bertil Ohlin, it shows that comparative advantage is influenced by relative factor abundance across countries and relative factor intensity across goods. Under its assumptions, free trade will equalize factor prices globally and lead countries to specialize in goods consistent with their factor endowments.
This document discusses the gains from international trade. It defines gains from trade as the advantages that countries enjoy through specialization and division of labor when participating in international trade. There are static and dynamic gains. Static gains come from short-term reallocation to comparative advantage sectors, while dynamic gains accumulate over time through factors like increased productivity and investment. Countries can measure gains from trade through approaches looking at reduced production costs, improved terms of trade, and increases in real income. Smaller countries tend to benefit more from trade than larger countries due to greater opportunities for specialization.
The balance of payments (BOP) records a country's transactions with other countries. It has two main categories: the current account which covers trade in goods, services, and income, and the capital and financial account which covers capital transfers and financial flows. The overall BOP position is the change in a country's net international reserves resulting from transactions. It is calculated as the current account balance plus the capital and financial account balance minus net unclassified items. The document provides the Philippines' BOP data for 2009 and 2010, showing growth rates for each component.
The document provides information about terms of trade including:
- Terms of trade measures the price of a country's exports relative to its imports. It is calculated as the index of export prices divided by the index of import prices.
- Types of terms of trade include net barter, gross barter, income, single factorial, double factorial, real cost, and utility terms of trade. Each type has strengths and limitations in measuring trade.
- Factors influencing terms of trade include the elasticity of demand and supply for exports and imports, as well as the relative size of demand for exports and imports. Changes in terms of trade can impact standards of living, import prices, and a country's balance of payments.
This document summarizes the Cournot duopoly model of market competition between two firms. It explains that under Cournot's assumptions, the two firms will each capture 1/3 of the market share and settle at an equilibrium price point between the competitive and monopoly prices. The model involves the firms reacting to each other's output and price decisions in successive rounds until they split the market evenly. Some criticisms of the model are that it assumes costless production and does not allow for new firm entry or learning over time.
The marginal productivity theory of distribution Prabha Panth
The document discusses the neoclassical theory of distribution and the concept of factor payments. It addresses the "adding up" problem of whether total factor payments will equal total product. Wicksteed showed that under constant returns to scale and factors paid their marginal products, total revenue will equal total costs through Euler's theorem. However, this assumes a linear homogeneous production function. Later economists like Samuelson and Hicks found the condition is only met at the minimum point of the long-run average cost curve, where a firm has constant returns to scale.
Mint Parity Theory - History, Definition, Advantages and DisadvantagesSundar B N
The mint parity theory explains how exchange rates between countries on the gold standard were determined. Under this system, currencies were defined by and convertible to a fixed quantity of gold. The exchange rate between two currencies adhering to the gold standard was based on the parity of the mint price of gold in the two countries. This ensured stability in exchange rates as long as countries maintained their commitment to gold convertibility at a fixed price. However, the gold standard broke down in the early 20th century, rendering the mint parity theory obsolete.
Tobin's q theory is a ratio that compares the market value of a company to the replacement cost of its assets. A ratio below 1 implies the stock is undervalued, while above 1 means it is overvalued. This ratio is used to inform investment decisions. It is calculated by dividing a firm's market value by the book value of its assets. While Tobin's q theory was shown to predict investment in 1960-1974, later data showed the ratio and investment diverging, calling into question how accurately it forecasts capital expenditures.
Purchasing Power Parity - Introduction, Meaning, Merits and DemeritsSundar B N
Purchasing power parity (PPP) theory states that exchange rates between currencies should equalize purchasing power across countries. The basis for PPP is the law of one price, which states that a good cannot have two different prices in separate markets. PPP theory predicts that the price level and cost of living should be the same across countries when exchange rates adjust to eliminate price differences. PPP exchange rates equalize the prices of identical baskets of goods and services between countries.
Meeting 5 - Leontief Paradox (International Economics)Albina Gaisina
Leontief attempted to empirically test the Heckscher-Ohlin theory that predicted countries would export goods intensive in their abundant factors and import goods intensive in their scarce factors. However, his analysis found the opposite - that the US exported labor-intensive goods despite being capital abundant. This contradiction became known as Leontief's paradox. Explanations for the paradox included differences in labor productivity between countries and the oversimplification of excluding natural resources. Later studies by others found similar paradoxical results for other countries like Japan. The paradox led some economists to dismiss the Heckscher-Ohlin theory in favor of models based on technological differences.
The document discusses Bain's limit pricing model. It states that under Bain's model, oligopoly firms do not maximize profits in the short run due to fear of attracting potential new entrants. Instead, firms fix a price on the inelastic portion of the demand curve called the limit price, which is the highest price that deters new firm entry. The limit price allows existing firms to earn abnormal profits above competitive levels but below monopoly profits, maintaining market stability. Diagrams are included showing the limit price between the perfect competition and monopoly price points.
Factor endowments and the heckscher ohlin theory (chapter 5)Rasel Ahamed
This document presents a group presentation to Professor Ayesha Akhter of the Department of Finance at Jagannath University by Group 4. The presentation includes:
1. An introduction and list of group members and their student IDs.
2. An outline of Chapter 5 on the Heckscher-Ohlin theory of international trade, including assumptions, factor intensities, factor abundance, and the shape of production frontiers.
3. Summaries of sections on the Heckscher-Ohlin theory, factor price equalization, and illustrations of the models by various group members.
Hecksher Ohlin Theory of Factor ProportionsLena Argosino
The Heckscher-Ohlin theory states that countries will export goods that utilize their abundant and cheap factors of production. It focuses on labor and capital as the two main factors. According to the theory, a capital-rich country will export capital-intensive goods, while a labor-rich country will export labor-intensive goods. A country's comparative advantage depends on the factors of production it has in relative abundance and at a lower cost.
This document discusses the arguments for and against free trade versus protectionism. It begins by providing context from classical economists who argued for free trade, and the rise of protectionism post-World War II. It then outlines the key arguments for free trade, including specialization, increased prosperity, and competitive pressures. Arguments against free trade include the potential harm to developing economies and domestic industries. The document also discusses the economic and non-economic arguments in favor of protectionism, such as for infant industries, employment, and national defense. Finally, it notes some arguments against protectionism like increased prices and reduced innovation.
The document discusses international trade theory and the benefits of free trade. It covers theories such as absolute advantage, comparative advantage, Heckscher-Ohlin theory, product life cycle theory, new trade theory, and Porter's diamond of competitive advantage. These theories explain patterns of trade between countries and how free trade allows specialization and gains from trade. The document also discusses concepts such as the balance of payments and whether a current account deficit is problematic.
Hypothesis of secular deterioration of terms of tradeRitika Katoch
The document summarizes the Prebisch-Singer thesis, which argues that terms of trade tend to deteriorate against primary commodities and in favor of manufactured goods over time. It presents the key assumptions of the thesis, including that income elasticity of demand is greater for manufactured goods than primary products. As a result, as incomes rise in developed countries, demand shifts away from primary commodities exported by developing countries towards manufactured goods produced in developed nations. This leads to a long-term decline in terms of trade for developing country exports.
This document discusses foreign exchange and exchange rates. It defines foreign exchange as currencies other than a country's domestic currency used in international trade. Exchange rates are the prices of currencies expressed in terms of other currencies and can fluctuate based on supply and demand. The document outlines factors that influence exchange rates and why foreign exchange is needed for international trade. It also defines and compares different exchange rate systems and discusses how exchange rates are determined in currency markets through the interaction of demand and supply of foreign currencies.
Hecksher Ohlin theory, Factor endowments theory, Modern Theory of International Trade, 2*2 theory, factor proportions theory, H-O Model, theory of International Trade
The document summarizes several economic theories of international trade, including:
1. Absolute advantage theory proposed by Adam Smith which focuses on a country's ability to produce goods more efficiently.
2. Comparative advantage theory proposed by David Ricardo which focuses on relative productivity differences and opportunity costs between countries.
3. Factor proportions theory proposed by Heckscher and Ohlin which argues that differences in factor endowments like capital and labor drive trade patterns.
4. Country size theory which proposes that the volume of a country's trade depends on factors like its size and transportation costs.
The document summarizes David Ricardo's theory of comparative advantage. It explains that according to Ricardo, countries can benefit from trade even if they do not have an absolute advantage in producing goods, as long as they have a comparative advantage in at least one good. This is illustrated using data showing that while England has higher absolute costs of production than Portugal for both wine and cloth, it has a lower relative production cost for cloth, giving it a comparative advantage. International trade allows both countries to specialize in the goods they have a comparative advantage in, increasing total world output.

Hecksher Ohlin theory, Factor endowments theory, Modern Theory of International Trade, 2*2 theory, factor proportions theory, H-O Model, theory of International Trade
The document summarizes several economic theories of international trade, including:
1. Absolute advantage theory proposed by Adam Smith which focuses on a country's ability to produce goods more efficiently.
2. Comparative advantage theory proposed by David Ricardo which focuses on relative productivity differences and opportunity costs between countries.
3. Factor proportions theory proposed by Heckscher and Ohlin which argues that differences in factor endowments like capital and labor drive trade patterns.
4. Country size theory which proposes that the volume of a country's trade depends on factors like its size and transportation costs.
The Heckscher-Ohlin theory states that countries will export goods that intensively use their abundant and cheap domestic factors of production, and import goods that intensively use their scarce factors. Specifically, the theory shows that a labor-abundant country will export labor-intensive goods like cloth, while a land-abundant country will export land-intensive goods like food. The original Heckscher-Ohlin model included two countries and two goods that could be produced using two factors of production, capital and labor. This model is sometimes called the "2x2x2 model". The theory emphasizes that comparative advantage and trade patterns are influenced by the relative abundance of factors between countries and the relative intensity of factors required
This document provides an overview of different theories of international trade, including:
- Absolute advantage theory proposed by Adam Smith which states that countries should specialize in goods they have an absolute cost advantage in.
- Comparative advantage theory by Ricardo which expanded on this to show benefits of specialization based on comparative rather than absolute costs.
- Modern theories like Heckscher-Ohlin which propose that differences in factor endowments between countries (e.g. capital vs. labor) lead to trade in factor-intensive goods.
It also outlines key assumptions and limitations of each theory, and differences between internal and international trade.
The factor endowment theory of international trade was developed by Swedish economists Eli Heckscher and Bertil Ohlin. Ohlin built upon Heckscher's work and published his theory in his 1933 book. The theory explains that countries will export goods that intensively use their abundant factors and import goods that intensively use their scarce factors. It assumes two countries, two goods, and two factors of production. A country is said to be factor abundant based on either having a higher capital to labor ratio or lower relative price of that factor. The theory shows graphically how trade leads to specialization according to comparative advantage. It makes restrictive assumptions about production functions and consumer preferences that limit its realism.
International trade occurs when countries specialize in producing goods and services where they have a comparative advantage and trade with other countries. Comparative advantage is based on differences in factors like labor productivity and resource endowments between countries. According to the theory of comparative advantage, if each country specializes in what it can produce at a lower relative cost than trading partners, then all countries can benefit through increased consumption possibilities from trade.

The document summarizes the Heckscher-Ohlin theory of international trade. The theory was developed by Swedish economists Eli Heckscher and Bertil Ohlin and proposes that countries will export goods that make intensive use of their abundant and cheap production factors, and import goods that make intensive use of their scarce and expensive factors. For example, a labor-abundant country will export labor-intensive goods and import capital-intensive goods. The theory is based on assumptions including two countries, two goods, two factors of production, identical technologies, and the absence of trade barriers. It predicts that capital-abundant countries will specialize in and export capital-intensive goods, while labor-abundant countries will specialize
Meeting 2 - Heckscher–Ohlin model (International Economics)Albina Gaisina
The document discusses the Heckscher-Ohlin model of international trade. The model assumes two countries, two goods, and two factors of production (labor and capital). It predicts that the labor-abundant country will export the labor-intensive good, while the capital-abundant country will export the capital-intensive good. This is known as the Heckscher-Ohlin theorem. The model aims to explain trade patterns between countries based on differences in their relative factor endowments.

The theory assumes two countries, two goods, and two factors of production (capital and labor). It predicts that a capital-abundant country will export capital-intensive goods, while a labor-abundant country will export labor-intensive goods. The document outlines the assumptions and criteria used to determine whether a country is relatively capital or labor abundant.
The document discusses several theories of international trade, including:
1. Mercantilism held that a nation's wealth depends on accumulating gold and silver, and that governments should promote exports and discourage imports to achieve a trade surplus.
2. Comparative advantage theory proposed by Ricardo states that countries should specialize and trade for goods they are relatively less efficient in producing to increase total global output. Even if less efficient overall, a country benefits from importing goods where its disadvantage is lower.
3. Heckscher-Ohlin theory proposes that patterns of trade are determined by differences in factor endowments (e.g. land, labor, capital), with countries exporting goods intensive in their locally abundant factors
This document discusses international trade theory and history. It begins with an overview of key concepts in international trade like trade, trade policy, and trade agreements. It then covers the history of international trade from ancient times through modern trade agreements like the GATT. The document also summarizes theories of international trade like mercantilism, absolute advantage, comparative advantage, and factor endowment theories. It provides examples to illustrate comparative advantage and factor endowment theories.
International trade theories provide explanations for why nations trade and patterns of trade. Theories show that even if a country can produce goods domestically, all countries can benefit from trade by specializing in goods where they have a comparative advantage. While absolute advantage looks at productivity differences, comparative advantage considers opportunity costs and shows that two countries can both gain from trade. The Heckscher-Ohlin model specifically predicts that countries will export goods intensive in their abundant factors of production and import goods intensive in their scarce factors. However, empirical tests by Leontief found paradoxical results when applying this model to US trade patterns.
The document summarizes several theories of international trade:
1) Mercantilism focused on accumulating gold through trade surpluses. Countries aimed to export more than import through tariffs and subsidies.
2) Absolute advantage theory says countries should specialize in goods they produce most efficiently. If each country focuses on its absolute advantage, global production increases.
3) Comparative advantage theory expanded on this, showing even without an absolute advantage, specializing in your comparative advantage - where you have the lowest opportunity cost - benefits all trading partners.
4) The Heckscher-Ohlin model predicts trade patterns based on whether a country is abundant in labor or capital. Labor-abundant countries export labor
The document discusses several international trade theories:
1) Heckscher-Ohlin theory which states that countries export goods that use their abundant factors intensively.
2) Product life cycle theory which argues production location moves from innovating to other countries as a product matures.
3) It provides examples of how different countries' factor endowments impact their exports, such as the US exporting capital intensive goods due to abundant capital.
This document provides an overview of international trade theory. It defines international trade and outlines several theories for why nations trade, including mercantilism, absolute advantage, comparative advantage, and factor endowment theory. It also discusses the international product life cycle theory and how trade barriers can impact trade between nations. The document contrasts the theories of absolute and comparative advantage using examples and analyzes different considerations in international trade such as government regulation and consumer tastes.
This document summarizes chapters from an economics textbook on international trade theory. It discusses how external economies of scale and knowledge spillovers can shape comparative advantage and trade patterns between countries. Specifically, it explains that international trade often occurs due to increasing returns to scale, and that external economies, which arise from factors outside the firm like clustering of suppliers, help determine the international location of production.
Fiduciary or paper money is issued by the Central Bank on the basis of
computation of estimated demand for cash. Monetary policy guides the Central
Bank’s supply of money in order to achieve the objectives of price stability (or low
inflation rate), full employment, and growth in aggregate income.
This document summarizes several theories of international trade, including:
- The Heckscher-Ohlin theorem that trade is based on comparative advantage from differences in factor endowments.
- The Leontief paradox that challenged this by finding the US exported labor-intensive goods.
- The Stolper-Samuelson theorem about how trade impacts factor prices.
- Linders theory of overlapping demand explaining intra-industry trade between similar countries.
Thought the H-O theory did not supplant the comparative cost theory, but supported it by providing explanation for the relative commodity price differences between the countries and their respective comparative advantages. The Heckscher-Ohlin theory focuses on the differences in the relative abundance of factors of production in various nations as the most important determinant of the difference in relative commodity prices and comparative advantage. However Leontief in his empirical examination found opposite of what the H-O model predicted, given the high level of U.S. wages and the relatively high amount of capital per worker in the United States. Leontief’s discovery was termed the Leontief Paradox.
However this did not disprove H-O theory, instead we have various explanations on such paradoxical situation. The Post H-O theory mainly looked in this aspect.

5. Assumptions of Heckscher Ohlin's H-O Theory
Heckscher-Ohlin'stheory explainsthe modern approach to
internationaltrade on the basis of following assumptions :-
• Thereare two countries involved.
• Each country has two factors (labour and capital).
• Each countryproduce two commodities or goods (labour intensive and
capital intensive).
• Thereis perfect competition in bothcommodity and factor markets.
• All production functions are homogeneous of the first degreei.e.
production function is subjectto constant returnstoscale.
• Factors are freely mobile within a country but immobile between
countries.
• Twocountries differ in factor supply.
5
6. • Each commodity differs in factor intensity.
• The production function remains the same in different countries for the
samecommodity. Fore.g. If commodity A requiresmore capital in one
country then same is the case in other country.
• Thereis full employment of resourcesin both countries and demand are
identical in both countries.
• Trade is free i.e. there are notrade restrictions in the form of tariffs or
non-tariff barriers.
• Thereare no transportation costs.
6
8. • The theory explains in a two country, two
factor and two commodity (
2*2*2 model ) framework.
1. what determines the comparative advantage ?
2. How trade influence the income of the factors of
production ?
8
9. • The theory believes that differentcountries are endowed with
varying proportions of different factors of production.
• Some countries have large population and large labour resource.
The others have abundance of capital but short of labour
resource.
• Capital abundant country presents a higher capital ratio than
whata labourabundant countypresents.
• Thus, a country withlarge labour forcewillbe able to produce
those goods at lowercost that involve labour intensivemode of
production.
• Similarlythe countries withlarge supply of capital will specialize
in those goods that involvecapital intensivemode of
production. 9
10. • The former will exportits labourintensive goods to the latter
and import capital intensive goods there from.
• After the trade, both the countries willhaveboth types of goods
at the least cost.
• Allthis means that the theoryholds good if the capitalabundant
country has a distinct preference for the labour intensivegoods
andthe labour abundant countryhas a distinctpreference for
capital intensive goods. Ifit is not, the theory may not hold
good.
• Again the theory does not hold good if the labour abundant
country is technologicallyadvancedin capital intensivegoods or
if capitalabundant economy is technologicallyadvancedinthe
production of labour intensive goods. 10
