Ricardian-Heckscher-Ohlin model implemented on 75 countries. We simulate two alternative productivity growth scenarios: a … "balanced" one in which China's productivity grows at the same rate in each sector, and an "unbalanced" one in which China …'s comparative disadvantage sectors catch up disproportionately faster to the world productivity frontier. Contrary to a well …

This paper examines how production techniques differ across countries, factors, and industries and considers its implications for previous empirical evidence on the Vanek prediction. I find that production techniques differ substantially across countries and factors, but differ much less across...

resuscitate HOV by introducing a simple Hicks-neutral (HN) factor-productivity adjustment, an approach that was heavily criticized …. In this paper, we re-examine the productivity question by estimating factor-specific productivities from the individual …-augmenting technological differences. In particular, the factor-productivity adjustment works well for developed members of the OECD. Further …

We exploit Japan's 19th century move from autarky to free trade to provide the first test of the general validity of the price formulation of the Heckscher-Ohlin theorem. In this formulation a country's autarky factor price vector imposes a single refutable prediction on the economy's factor...
