Answer to Question 1

Leontief found U.S. exports were relatively labor intensive, implying within the context of the Heckscher-Ohlin model that the United States is relatively labor abundant. Several reconciliations have been offered, including U.S. labor relatively more efficient (Leontief), importance of natural resources (Vanek), U.S. tariff structure (Travis), and international differences in tastes and technologies.
