The global welfare impact of China : trade integration and technological change
Di Giovanni, Julian; Levchenko, Andrei A.; Zhang, Jing - 2013
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 …

Testing the general validity of the Heckscher-Ohlin theorem : the natural experiment of Japan
Bernhofen, Daniel M.; Brown, John Christopher - 2011
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...

Heckscher-Ohlin explained by Walras
Balasko, Yves - 2013
The Heckscher-Ohlin model with arbitrary number of goods, factors and countries (consumers) and no restrictions on factor trading is shown to be equivalent to an exchange model whose goods are the productive factors while consumer's indirect demands for factors are derived from their actual...

Variation in structural change around the world, 1985-2015 : patterns, causes, and implications
Wood, Adrian - 2017
During 1985-2015, globalization intensified the factor-endowment-related pattern of sectoral specialization. In skill-abundant developed countries, manufacturing became more skill-intensive. In land-scarce developing East Asia, labour-intensive manufacturing expanded, especially in China. In...

Comparative advantages in the digital era : a Heckscher-Ohlin-Vanek approach
Guarascio, Dario; Stöllinger, Roman - 2022
This paper revisits the Heckscher-Ohlin-Vanek (HOV) theorem and investigates its fit for digital tasks and ICT capital, which both represent endowment factors that are expected to shape the digital transformation. We use a theory-consistent methodology for calculating the measured net factor...

Producer heterogeneity, value-added, and international trade
Alexander, Patrick D. - 2016
Standard new trade models depict producers as heterogeneous in total factor productivity. In this paper, I adapt the … in value-added productivity. In equilibrium, this yields a positive relationship between the international trade …

Comparative advantage in (non-)routine production
Archanskaia, Liza; Van Biesebroeck, Johannes; Willmann, … - 2020
We illustrate a new source of comparative advantage that is generated by countries' different ability to adjust to technological change. Our model introduces substitution of workers in codifiable (routine) tasks with more efficient machines, a process extensively documented in the labor...
