1 Chapter 4 Factor Proportions As determinant of Trade
Also will glance at Appendix B. Chapter 4. Who gains and who loses from trade?

2 Figure 4.1 Production Possibilities with Increasing Costs p. 51

3 Figure 4.2 Individual Indifference Curves. P 54
Figure 4.2 Indifference Curves. P 54. Community indifference curves are problematical. (p. 52) Can we simply add individuals’ curves? Some gain, others lose. Is difficult to compare welfare/happiness among people.

4 On Community Welfare, pp. 55 (52-53 in 13th edition)
On Community Welfare, pp. 55 (52-53 in previous edition)

5 Figure 4.3 Indifference Curves and Production without Trade. P. 56

6 Figure 4.4 p. 57. Two views of free trade
Chapter 4. Chapter 2. Figure 4.4 p. 57. Two views of free trade

7 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).
