Homework Answers
In the Heckscher-Ohlin analysis, if an relatively labor abundant country is opened to trade, then as the movement to trade takes place, the capital/labor ratio used in the country's export industry will increase and the capital/labor ratio used in the country's import-competing industry also will increase. Hence, option(B) is correct.
