Modeling Heckscher-Ohlin Comparative Advantage in Regression Equations: A Critical Survey

Abstract

This paper explores the possible links that one can find between rigorous formulations of the factor proporations theory and its empirical examination in a regression framework. The paper tries to bring together in a systematic way, and to evaluate the various ways that can be pursued to narrow the above mentioned gap in the theoretical justification of regression tests of the factor proportions theory.
