Abstract

This note provides a unified set of diagrammatic proofs for several fundamental theorems in the modern theory of international trade. A complete diagrammatic context depicting the necessary relations between relative product prices, relative factor prices, factor intensities, and real factor earnings is constructed and then used to provide simple proofs of the Heckscher-Ohlin, factor price equalization, and Stolper-Samuelson theorems, together with Mundell's theorem on factor mobility and a Rybczynski-Johnson theorem on factor growth.
