Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The factor endowment theory states that nations will specialize in the production of goods that utilize their abundant factors of production. Therefore, a nation heavily endowed with labor will have a comparative advantage in producing labor-intensive goods and thus will export more labor-intensive goods. Choice A is incorrect because a nation with abundant labor will not import labor-intensive goods since it has the resources to produce them domestically. Choice C is also incorrect because having an absolute advantage in labor-intensive goods means that a country can produce more of these goods with a given level of resources as compared to other countries, which may not be the case for a country abundant in labor. Choice D is incorrect because a country heavily endowed with labor will not have a comparative advantage in producing capital-intensive goods.
