Which one of the following assumptions of Heckscher-Ohlin Theory acknowledges that there is no factor-intensity reversal?


Two countries, two commodities and two factors of production

One of the commodities is labor-intensive and the other one is capital-intensive in both countries

One of the countries is labor-abundant and the other one is capital-abundant

Technology is the same in both countries

There is constant returns to scale in the production of both commodities


Yanıt Açıklaması:

One of the commodities is labor-intensive and the other one is capital-intensive in both countries: This assumption acknowledges that there is no factor-intensity reversal. However, as we have already discussed in the previous chapter, factorintensity reversal is a factor that makes the Heckscher-Ohlin Theory invalid. Even though the studies show that the factor-intensity reversal rarely occurs, it is still an element that might impede the Heckscher-Ohlin Theory.
