Sources of International Comparative Advantage: Theory and Evidence Book
This is the first book to present a clear empirical picture of the international exchange of goods and of the resources that account for the exchanges that occur. Using tables, graphs, and econometric data summaries, it describes the patterns of trade and the patterns of resource supplies of fifty-nine countries and explains these trade patterns in terms of the abundance of eleven resources. The author's scientific goal is to leave the reader with a clear impression of the empirical validity of a central result of trade theory—the Heckscher-Ohlin theory of international comparative advantage, in which a country's factor endowments (land, labor, capital) play a crucial role in determining trade patterns. The theory is fully articulated and carefully linked to the empirical analysis. The econometric methods and the results should create a standard by which other data analyses will be judged in the future. Chapters cover theories of international trade, testing the theories of international comparative advantage, formation of the trade aggregates, data preview, econometric methods, estimates of the trade dependence model, and counterfactuals. Appendixes present the effects of factor market distortions, statistics, and detailed discussions of the statistical results.Read More
