Abstract
The linear programming model of the classical Ricardian theory of comparative costs has been analyzed in Dorfman, Samuelson and Solow's famous book, entitled Linear Programming and Economic Analysis (1958, pp. 31–45). We analyze here the Heckscher-Ohlin theory of international trade by using a simple linear programming model. The basic dual relationship of the Rybczynski theorem and the Stolper-Samuelson tariff theorem can be most clearly stated by means of our model. The simple set-up helps to investigate, rather easily, the implications of the theorems in cases like specialization and redundancy of one factor.
