Heckscher-Ohlin
Theory
of Factor
Proportions
The Heckscher-Ohlin theory
According to this theory, one condition for
trade is that countries differ with respect to
the availability of the factors of
production.
The Heckscher-Ohlin theory focuses on the
two most important factors of production:
labor and capital.
Understanding The Concept of
Factor Abundance
In the 2x2x2 model or two countries, two
commodities & two factor model, implies
that the capital rich country will export
capital intensive commodity and the labor
rich country will export labor intensive
commodity
 Differences in factor endowments not on differences
in productivity determine patterns of trade.
 Products differ according to the types of factors that
they need as inputs.
 A country has a comparative advantage in producing
products that intensively use factors of production
(resources) it has in abundance.
 Factors of production: labor, capital, land, human
resources, technology
Price Criterion for defining
Factor Abundance
A country where capital is relatively cheaper
and labor is relatively costly is said to be
capital rich country. Whereas a country
where labor is relatively cheaper and capital
is relatively costly is said to be labor rich
country.
Example #1:
US and England have relatively more
abundant capital yet imports goods more
capital intensive than those it exports. US
has special advantage on producing new
products made with innovative
technologies. Whereas in India and Egypt,
labour is cheaper, and produce wheat with
labor intensive techniques.
Example #2
Steel production generally involves large
amounts of expensive machines and
equipment spread over perhaps hundreds of
acres of land, but also uses relatively few
workers. In the tomato industry, in contrast,
harvesting requires hundreds of migrant
workers to hand-pick and collect each fruit
from the vine. The amount of machinery used
in this process is relatively small.
Thus, if the two goods that a country can
produce are steel and clothing, and if steel
production uses more capital per unit of labor
than is used in clothing production, then we
would say the steel production is capital-
intensive relative to clothing production. Also,
if steel production is capital intensive, then it
implies that clothing production must
be labor-intensive relative to steel.

Hecksher Ohlin Theory of Factor Proportions

  • 2. The Heckscher-Ohlin theory According to this theory, one condition for trade is that countries differ with respect to the availability of the factors of production.
  • 3. The Heckscher-Ohlin theory focuses on the two most important factors of production: labor and capital.
  • 4. Understanding The Concept of Factor Abundance In the 2x2x2 model or two countries, two commodities & two factor model, implies that the capital rich country will export capital intensive commodity and the labor rich country will export labor intensive commodity
  • 5.  Differences in factor endowments not on differences in productivity determine patterns of trade.  Products differ according to the types of factors that they need as inputs.  A country has a comparative advantage in producing products that intensively use factors of production (resources) it has in abundance.  Factors of production: labor, capital, land, human resources, technology
  • 6. Price Criterion for defining Factor Abundance A country where capital is relatively cheaper and labor is relatively costly is said to be capital rich country. Whereas a country where labor is relatively cheaper and capital is relatively costly is said to be labor rich country.
  • 7. Example #1: US and England have relatively more abundant capital yet imports goods more capital intensive than those it exports. US has special advantage on producing new products made with innovative technologies. Whereas in India and Egypt, labour is cheaper, and produce wheat with labor intensive techniques.
  • 8. Example #2 Steel production generally involves large amounts of expensive machines and equipment spread over perhaps hundreds of acres of land, but also uses relatively few workers. In the tomato industry, in contrast, harvesting requires hundreds of migrant workers to hand-pick and collect each fruit from the vine. The amount of machinery used in this process is relatively small.
  • 9. Thus, if the two goods that a country can produce are steel and clothing, and if steel production uses more capital per unit of labor than is used in clothing production, then we would say the steel production is capital- intensive relative to clothing production. Also, if steel production is capital intensive, then it implies that clothing production must be labor-intensive relative to steel.
