论文摘要
Heckscher-Ohlin模型的经验证据尚无定论。我们测试了Heckscher-Ohlin定理对劳动和资本的预测是否在增值贸易中获得支持。将劳动力资本强度和捐赠定义为小时比名义资本库存的比率,我们找到了反对Heckscher-Ohlin的证据。但是,采取总要素补偿的比率,因此考虑了技术的差异,我们对其进行了强有力的支持。也就是说,劳动力丰富的国家倾向于在劳动密集型行业的商品中出口增值。此外,在大型行业之间进行区分,我们发现了十二个行业中九个行业的支持。
Empirical evidence for the Heckscher-Ohlin model has been inconclusive. We test whether the predictions of the Heckscher-Ohlin Theorem with respect to labor and capital find support in value-added trade. Defining labor-capital intensities and endowments as the ratio of hours worked to the nominal capital stock, we find evidence against Heckscher-Ohlin. However, taking the ratio of total factor compensations, and thus accounting for differences in technologies, we find strong support for it. That is, labor-abundant countries tend to export value-added in goods of labor-intensive industries. Moreover, differentiating between broad industries, we find support for nine out of twelve industries.
