Discuss. 推荐精选Answer: 推荐精选In a two good, two factor model, such as the original Heckscher-Ohlin
6、 framework, the factor intensities are relative intensities. Hence, the relevant statistic is either workers per acre (or acres per worker); or wage per rental unit (or rental per wage). In order to illustrate the logic of the statement above, let us assume that the production of a broom requires 4
7、workers and 1 acre. Also, let us assume that the production of one bushel of wheat requires 40 workers and 80 acres. In this case the acres per person required to produce a broom is one quarter, whereas to produce a bushel of wheat requires 2 acres per person. The wheat is therefore (relatively) lan
8、d intensive, and the broom is (relatively) labor intensive.推荐精选推荐精选推荐精选5) 推荐精选No country is abundant in everything. Discuss. 推荐精选Answer: 推荐精选The concept of relative (country) factor abundance is (like factor intensities) a relative concept. When we identify a country as being capital intensive, we m
