Explain the concept of comparative advantage in the Heckscher-Ohlin model.

• Comparative advantage is the idea that countries should specialize in producing goods and services in which they have a lower opportunity cost compared to other countries.

• Comparative advantage is the idea that countries should produce all goods and services domestically to protect their own industries.

• Comparative advantage is the idea that countries should specialize in producing goods and services in which they have a higher opportunity cost compared to other countries.

• Comparative advantage is the idea that countries should only produce goods and services that they can consume domestically.

What is factor intensity in the context of the Heckscher-Ohlin model?

• The cost of factors of production in different countries.
