Open publisher page 4 citations

Abstract

In a competitive economy, where the value marginal productivities of the factors of production are equal in all sectors, the terms of trade of one sector are meaningfully measured by the rent realized by factors specific to this sector. If there are no specific factors, there is no problem of terms of trade.
