Heckscher Ohlin Theorem (p. 63) A country will export the product(s) that use intensively its relatively abundant factor(s), and will import the product(s) that use its relatively scarce factor(s). Thus, the H-O comparative advantage model is actually a triple comparison: across countries across products across factors of production Heckscher Ohlin Theorem (p. 63).
