Abstract

This paper will focus on the question does the Heckscher-Ohlin theory adequately account for the major aspects of the trade pattern observed prior to WWI, or are there other influences that mattered? I conclude mat although the perfect competition H-O model does not do all that well for the post-world War II period, it is perfectly adequate for die late nineteenth century, the period which motivated Eli F. Heckscher and Bertil Ohlin in the first place.

Resumen

En este ensayo se contrasta para una muestra de 18 países hacia 1913 una versión estàtica de la teoría de Heckscher-Ohlin, en la formulación de Vanek. La conclusión alcanzada es que si bien el modelo de H-O con competencia perfecta no resulta plenamente explicativo para la segunda posguerra mundial, es muy adecuado, sin embargo, para los años finales del siglo xix y primeros del siglo xx.
