Burgman and Geppert (1993) argue that this might be due to the neglect of the nonstationarity property of the time series under consideration. Using a cointegrat...
متن کاملHow Likely Is Factor Price Equalization?
The idea of treating factor price equalization as a situation, where the distribution of factors among countries is compatible with an equilibrium in an integrated world economy, has been refined to give the so-called lens condition for factor price equalization. In this paper, we show that the lens condition may be used to give estimates for the probability of factor price equalization when fa...
متن کاملThe Hescher-Ohlin-Vanek Theorem without Factor Price Equalization
The Heckscher-Ohlin-Vanek Theorem has been used to predict the factor contents of trade under the ideal assumption that factor prices are equalized. Available empirical studies have shown that the measured contents of factor trade significantly differ from the predicted factor contents of trade. This paper employs a more general definition of factor abundance in the presence of factor price dis...
