Testing two trade models in Latin American agriculture
检验赫克歇尔-俄林模型和马库森模型在拉丁美洲农业贸易中的适用性,发现贸易主要由要素禀赋差异而非技术差异解释,支持赫克歇尔-俄林模型但拒绝马库森的一个模型。
The Heckscher-Ohlin and M!irkusen models state that countries export the goods intensive in the use of their relatively abundant factor. Latin American agricultural trade is consistent with both models. The paper then shows that Latin American agricultural trade is primarily explained by country differences in relative factor abundance between countries rather than differences in technology. This finding does not reject the Heckscher-Ohlin model but rejects one of Markusen's models.
