Abstract
In this paper we suggest that factor intensities have more than one "face" and care must be taken in the comparisons chosen. Among other things, we il lustrate that in the multi-country, multi-commodity case, a capital-abundan t country's export can easily be more labor-intensive than its import-compe ting sector.
