Relations with Ricardian Model
• What are the ultimate determinants of comparative advantage?
• Ricardo did not bother to answer this question
• He just assumed that the differences in comparative advantage depended on comparative difference in labor productivity (that is, differences in technology), but he did not explain the basis for these differences. Implicit reason in his example was climate...

Chapter 3
Relations with Ricardian Model
• It remained to HeckscherHeckscher and OhlinOhlin to offer an explanation for this. And this theory has become, since 1930s, the orthodox explanation of the ultimate cause of international trade
• Their basic idea is:1. Commodities differ in their factor require
ments2. Countries differ in their factor endowment

Chapter 3
Relations with Ricardian ModelA country has comparative advantage in those commodities that use its abundant factors intensively.
This is why labor-abundantlabor-abundant countries, such as India, China and Korea export footwear, rugs, textiles, and other labor intensive commodities; and land-abundantland-abundant countries, such as Argentina, Australia, and Canada, export meat, wheat, wool, and other land-intensive commodities

Basic Assumptions
1. Number of countries, factors, and commodities are all two 2 x 2 x 2 model
A. Two inputs (factors): Labor (L) & Capital (K)
B. Two outputs: Cloth (Qc) & Steel (QS)
C. Two Countries, e.g. US & China
Different proportion of factor endowment:
US is a capital-abundant country and China is a labor-abundant country (K/L)US > (K/L)China

Basic Assumptions
2. Technology is the same in both countries same production functionsQc = Qc (Kc, Lc), QS = QS (KS, LS)( cloth is labor-intensive good both in US & China )
3. Strong factor intensity Cloth is labor-intensive good , Steel is capital-intensive good At any given factor price ratio w/r,
KS /LS > Kc /Lc

Chapter 3
Basis for Trade• The structure of trade, in general, can b
e traced back to differences infactor endowments, technology and tastes
• Since Heckscher-Ohlin theory assumes that technology and tastes are similar between countries, it attributes the comparative advantage to differences in factor endowments

Basis for TradeDifferent relative factor endowmentsdifferent relative factor prices different relative production costdifferent relative prices of products Comparative advantage in producing and exporting the product that uses its abundant recourse intensively (lower relative cost)

Chapter 3
Pattern of production and trade
The capital-abundant country exports the capital-intensive commodity, and the labor-abundant country exports the labor-intensive commodity.
In this case, US should export steel and China should export cloth.

If the economy had an unlimited supply of capital (labor), it would be able to produce along the labor constraint JG (capital constraint MH). When the supplies of both factors are limited, both constraints become binding and the production frontier coincides with the heavy kinked line JEH. Because steel is capital intensive relative to cloth, the capital constraint is steeper than the labor frontier.

Chapter 3
Effects of Trade To relative price of goods
Trade increase the relative price of goods for export, while decrease that for import.
To Factor Prices To production
More resources are used in the productions for export.
To consumption Comparing with close economy state, the
consumptions possibility rise, but the consumptions for both goods need not rise. It depend on the relative price change and community preferences

Short-Run EffectReturn to factors

or , so w&r are determined by changes in Product Price )
Price of export product , both factors in the export sector gain
Price of import-competing product , both factors in the import-competing sector loss

Chapter 3
Long-run Effect
1. The Stolper-Samuelson (S-S) TheoremFree trade raises the return to the factor used intensively in the rising-price sector (export sector) and lowers the return to factor used intensively in the falling-price (import competing sector)2. Effect on distribution of income Owners of a country’s abundant factors gain from trade,but owners of scarce factors lose.
