Countries will tend to specialize in goods that utilize their abundant resources ( labor, minerals, etc.)
1 answer
The Heckscher-Ohlin model provides a framework for understanding international trade based on comparative advantage derived from factor endowments, suggesting that countries export goods that utilize their abundant resources and import those that require scarce resources. An advantage of this model is its ability to explain trade patterns based on factor proportions rather than just technology differences. However, its disadvantages include oversimplification, as it assumes factors of production are mobile within countries but not between them, and it may not account for the influence of technology, economies of scale, or transportation costs on trade. Additionally, empirical evidence often shows deviations from the model's predictions, limiting its applicability in real-world scenarios.

The Heckscher-Ohlin theory highlights the importance of factor endowments in determining trade patterns, suggesting that countries export goods that utilize their abundant factors of production and import goods that require scarce factors. A major advantage is its ability to explain the effects of resource distribution on international trade. However, its limitations include assumptions of perfect competition and identical technology across countries, which may not hold true in real-world scenarios, leading to oversimplified predictions. Additionally, the theory does not account for the role of economies of scale, transportation costs, and differences in consumer preferences.

Country a is better in producing products, so production based will be done in country a.
Country b is better in labor, each country has to specialize inn order to gain advantage.
Also consider price elasticity in this case.

The possibility, accounting for the Leontief Paradox, that country demands differ so much that countries demand more of their abundant-factor intensive goods than they produce, thus invalidating the Heckscher-Ohlin Theorem under the quantity definition of factor abundance but not under the price definition.
