dc.description.abstract | Whether a country exports manufactures or primary products is determined
mainly by the skill level of its labour force, relative to the extent of
its natural resources. This proposition is derived from a modified version
of Heckscher-Ohlin theory, and strongly supported by econometric evidence.
Variation in trade policies currently accounts for only a small part of the
cross-country variation in the relative importance of manufactured exports.
These findings have important implications for development strategy advice. | en_GB |
