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

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.

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).
