Question

The Rybczynski theorem asserts that in a two-good world, and assuming that product prices stay constant, growth in the endowment of one factor of production, with the other factor unchanged, will lead to:

A. An equal percentage increase in the output of both goods.
B. An increase in the output of the good that uses the growing factor intensively and a decrease in the output of the other good.
C. An increase in the output of both goods but a greater percentage increase in the output of the good that uses the growing factor intensively.
D. An increase in the output of the good that uses the growing factor intensively and no change in the output of the other good.

Answer 1

The answer is "Option b".
