Essay

Factor-intensity reversals describe a situation in which the production of a product may be land intensive in one country, and relatively labor intensive in another (at given relative wage levels). For example, cotton may be land intensive in the U.S., and labor intensive in Egypt where land is relatively scarce and expensive. Suppose factor-intensity reversals were common. How would that affect the conclusion that a country in which land is relatively scarce will not be the country with a comparative advantage in the land-intensive product?
