In the specific factor model with labour as a mobile factor, introducing trade lowers the welfare of workers increases output and consumption in the world. increases the welfare of all the owners of specific factors in Home. induces a Pareto improvement for the economy that exports more.

We have export and import data of a country for the last two years. In addition, let's assume that we have the list of the most exported goods along with the countries that this country exports and imports to. How do we know if the trade pattern of this country is compatible with the comparative advantage theory? Also, what data do we need if we want to assess whether this country's trade pattern can be explained by the Hecksher-Ohlin theory?
