Advanced Topics in International Trade Theory

This chapter presents the mathematical derivations of some of the theories presented in previous sections. The chapter presumes a knowledge of calculus and constrained optimization as applied to economic problems. For now we include the mathmatical formulation of the production structure of the Heckscher-Ohlin model along with the derivations of two of the model's main theorems; the Stolper-Samuelson theorem and the Rybczynski theorem.

• The Heckscher-Ohlin (Factor-Proportions) Model
• The Stolper-Samuelson Theorem
• The Rybczynski Theorem
