Heckscher-Ohlin theorem  

Definition

  • The Heckscher-Ohlin model (H-O model) was constructed to understand the role of productive resources in international trade, analyzing an economy in which two goods are produced using two factors of production. It is a general equilibrium model that extends some important results of the comparative advantage theory developed by David Ricardo.
