II. Underlying drivers /factors: - Pursuit of efficiency and growth- Lower trade barriers- Technical Progress --lower cost of transport- Pressure of international competition
• 1. Ricardo’s model is based on relative marginal cost
• 2. Heckscher-Ohlin model of comparative advantage is based on differences in factor endowments:– In each country the factor which is relatively abundant
will be relatively cheaper, and then the good which uses this factor relatively more intensively in its production will be relatively cheaper too. Therefore we expect a country to have its comparative advantage in goods relative intensive in the use of those factors which are in relatively abundant supply there.

Theoretically under assumptions: Trade should benefit everyone
via factor price equalization• The third proposition of trade theory• 3. If trade is due to the existence of differences in
relative cost then free trade should eliminate such differences.
• In the case where comparative ad derives from differences in factor endowments, one expects that differences in domestic factor prices to be eliminated by trade.
• However, this depends on many assumptions including identical technology across countries.
• What is happening in reality?
14
Impact of globalization /trade reforms• Freer trade has led to rapid growth and poverty reduction in
some countries (East Asia, China, India, etc), but progress has been uneven:
• Some countries with solid export growth have not translated that into significant poverty reduction.
• There is growing anxiety in OECD countries with respect to the effects of globalization (high unemployment?);
• Developing countries could have done better if protection had been lower (particularly in agriculture).
• Roughly one-third of developing countries have not benefited significantly from trade expansion, some due to external factors such as domestic instability or civil wars.
• And many developing countries face significant supply constraints and infrastructure bottlenecks that hamper their integration into the world economy.

Conclusion• Globalization is inevitable, like it or not• Trade integration, int’l movements of goods, services
and factors are good for growth and poverty reduction [especially considering the new models of creative destruction]
• In reality, the full potential of trade and globalization has not been reached because of many distortions: protectionism, limitations on factor mobility, and domestic supply-side constraints, etc
• Therefore, complementary policies are needed to support the rural poor and vulnerable groups
• Vietnam has great potentials to compete in international market thanks to its comparative advantages, commitment to integrate, reform strategies that facilitate learning by doing.
