It suggests an inverse relationship between the similarity of countries and the volume of trade between them. The Heckscher-Ohlin (HO) factor propor tions theory derives the determinants of comparative advantage in a world of "two-ness" (two goods, two factors, two countries). It predicts that each country will export that good which uses the country‘s abundant factor rel atively most intensively. The literature on trade offers an impressive number of studies based on the HO theory. The main methodological problems en countered in the literature are: first, the appropriate formulation of the HO theorem in a multi-factor, multi-good and multi-country framework; second, proper tests of the HO theory and proper links of the theory to empirical analysis. The relevance of the HO theory began to be questioned when important facts of modern international trade proved to be inconsistent with its theoretical framework. Leontief (1953) tested the factor proportions theory, using the US data for 1947, and found that the US had more labor- | 出版日期 | Book 1999 | 关键词 | Außenwirtschaft; Außenwirtschaftstheorie; Heckscher-Ohlin-Theorie; Heckscher-Ohlin-Theory; Inernational | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-642-50212-5 | isbn_softcover | 978-3-642-50214-9 | isbn_ebook | 978-3-642-50212-5Series ISSN 1431-8830 Series E-ISSN 2196-8950 | issn_series | 1431-8830 | copyright | Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 1999 |
