Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Wassily Leontief's empirical testing, known as the Leontief Paradox, found results contrary to the Heckscher-Ohlin theory of trade, which predicted that a country would export goods that intensively use its abundant factors of production. Instead, Leontief discovered that the United States, abundant in capital, exported more labor-intensive goods and imported more capital-intensive goods, contradicting the theory.
