leontief paradox  

Definition(s)

  • Wassily W Leontief (1905–99) was the first scholar to empirically test the predictions of the Heckscher-Ohlin (H-O) theorem, one of four main results of the H-O model (credited to Eli Heckscher and Bertil Ohlin). This theorem establishes a relationship between a country's abundance of factors of production, the intensity with which these factors are used in production, and the country's trade patterns.
