Abstract

Interest in the effects of technical change on comparative cost, the volume and terms of trade, and the gains from international specialization is of relatively modern origin, a by-product of postwar concern with the ‘dollar shortage’ and the alleged long-run adverse trend of the terms of trade of the primary-producing or under-developed countries. More fundamentally, it reflects a growing awareness of the importance of technology among the causes of the wealth of nations, and of technical change among the causes of economic progress and economic change.
