Abstract

In this paper we consider the Bhagwati and Srinivasan model (1971) which takes into account the impact of wage differentials on production response and factor price equalization theorem. We modify it introducing the distinction between skilled and unskilled workers and the existence in each sector of a union which all the workers, skilled and unskilled, are members of. The most interesting result concerns the relationship between factor intensity and wage rewards: the main theorems of international trade do not hold if in the skilled (unskilled) labour intensive sector skilled (unskilled) workers have a greater power within the union compared to that of the unskilled (skilled) workers.
