This group gathers theorems from the economic theory of international trade, which asks what countries export and import and how trade changes the incomes of the people who produce and consume goods. It covers the Heckscher-Ohlin theorem on trade patterns driven by relative factor abundance, the Stolper-Samuelson theorem on how tariffs and prices shift the rewards to labour and capital, and the Lerner symmetry theorem that an import tariff has the same effects as an export tax.
