5. In at most 2 sentences, describe what Trefler’s “Missing Trade” case is.
6. What is a potential solution to the “Missing trade” problem in the Heckscher-Ohlin-Vanek model?
Homework Answers
Q5. Trefler found that the actual volume of world trade is significantly less than that predicted by the Heckscher-Ohlin model. He argued that due to variation in wages and rental rates the observed volume of trade is less than predicted. Hence the theory of missing trade is born. According to him volume of North-Saouth trade is less as given by HO theory.

Trade Theories, a Historical Approach Free trade refers to a situation where a government does not attempt to influence through quotas or duties what its citizens can buy from another country, or what they can produce and sell to another country. The economic arguments surrounding the benefits and costs of free trade in goods and services are not abstract academic ones. International trade theory has shaped the economic policy of many nations for the past 50 years. The textbook reviews...
