Abstract

. Constructing a two‐good (competitive and imperfectly‐competitive goods), two‐primary factor (capital and labor) and two‐country model of international trade where the imperfectly‐competitive sector is subject to increasing returns to scale, we establish an oligopolistic version of the Heckscher‐Ohlin theorem. JEL classification: F10, F12 Une théorie du commerce international fondée sur la dotation de facteurs de production en régime de concurrence imparfaite et de rendements croissants. A partir d’un modèle à deux biens (un bien concurrentiel et un bien imparfaitement concurrentiel) où il y a deux facteurs de production primaires (capital et travail), deux pays impliqués dans le commerce international, et où le secteur imparfaitement concurrentiel a des rendements croissants à l’échelle, on produit une version oligopolistique du théorème de Heckscher‐Ohlin.
