Ra. Brecher et Eu. Choudhri, SOME EMPIRICAL SUPPORT FOR THE HECKSCHER-OHLIN MODEL OF PRODUCTION, Canadian journal of economics, 26(2), 1993, pp. 272-285
This paper develops empirically feasible tests of the production side
of the Heckscher- Ohlin model of international trade, in the case wher
e factor prices are not equal between countries. To allow for factor-p
rice differences across industries within each country, three variants
of the model are considered. Tests of these variants are implemented
for Canada and the United States. Results are favourable to all three
variants, especially the variant that allows imperfect factor mobility
within each country. Thus, the paper finds some support for the Hecks
cher-Ohlin model of production.
