What does the Heckscher-Ohlin model suggest about the distribution of benefits from international trade?

Show Answers

All participants benefit equally from tradeThose who benefit from trade are greater in number than those who loseThe factor in limited supply always benefits from tradeNone of the statements above are correct

Explanation

According to the Heckscher-Ohlin model, trade benefits some groups more than others, and the number of winners exceeds the number of losers. It does not imply universal gains or guaranteed benefits for the scarce factor. Therefore, the correct interpretation is that the gainers outnumber the losers.
