HECKSCHER-OHLIN MODEL: A model of international trade developed by Eli Heckscher and Bertil Ohlin, with significant contributions by Paul Samuelson, that relies on the notion that comparative advantage is based on relative natural resource endowments. A nation with large oil reserves will, for example, have a comparative advantage in oil production over another nation with fertile soil, which will have a comparative advantage in agricultural production.

- This works for both the price elasticity of demand and the price elasticity of supply, because the negative value of the price elasticity of demand is ignored.
- Perfectly elastic demand and supply are represented by horizontal demand and supply curves.
