The Heckscher-Ohlin model and its three theorems apply to trade, not
factor migration. We used basic supply and demand models for factor
migration and found that the expected income distribution consequences of
factor migration were similar for both trade and factor migration.
For the HO model, we used labor and capital, and advanced and basic
goods just as an example. The model itself is much broader, applying to
other factors of production (such as arable land or mineral resources) and
their associated factor-intensive goods.
Consider explaining relevant theory and what it predicts, then follow
with evidence to see in what respects the theory does/does not accord with
the evidence. That arrangement helps maintain an analytical framework.
Support:
Evidence of globalization includes indicators such as growth of exports
or export shares. It does not include growth of output--that could happen
for lots of reasons and better output performance is one of the possible
outcomes of globalization rather than evidence of globalization itself.
Evidence should serve a purpose. Make sure that it relates to a key
point that you want to make.
Data support is most effective when it is comparative, either over time
or across countries or compared to world averages. Without such context, it
is unclear whether a value is high or low.
Percentage values are usually more effective support than dollar or unit
values since percentages can be meaningfully compared across countries or
over time. $1 billion of growth is small for the US (0.007%) but large for
Grenada (70%).
Make clear what a percentage value refers to: An annual rate of growth?
Cumulative total growth over several years? A percentage share of a total
amount? One country relative to another? For growth, it is especially
important to specify whether it's an annual rate or a total amount of
growth.
Be open to acknowledging that not all evidence supports the point you
want to make. A country that you consider to be labor-abundant might export
shoes, oil, and textiles. Shoes and textiles are labor-intensive, but oil is
not--the oil exports likely mean that the country is also relatively
abundant in that particular natural resource.
Writing:
Be sure to state a clear overall focus for your paper, usually near the
end of your opening paragraph.
Especially for short papers, it is not necessary to "say what you're
going to say, say it, say you've said it." Instead of excessive detail and
repetition of your structure, just aim to make sure that your paper moves
forward in a logical way that progressively develops the key point of your
paper.
Make sure each body paragraph has a central point, only one central
point, and a central point that differs from the central points of your
other body paragraphs. The rest of the paragraph should contain analysis and
evidence in support of that central point.
A well-organized body paragraph can simply end with the support you have
provided--do not finish by repeating its central point or introducing the
next topic.
When in doubt about a citation, include it rather than exclude it.
Citations are badges of honor in a research paper.
"In regards to" is not a proper English phrase. Use "with respect to" or
"regarding" instead.
