I.II Natural resources

As Chapter 8 in this volume discusses,  the normative  question of  pricing natural resources (exhaustible or renewable) has received much attention in  the literature of the past  decade. The  middle-products approach  stresses that  some activities, the extraction of natural resources, must take place locally although international trade then allows other countries  access to  these resources.  Obviously, comparative advantage changes  over time  for countries  engaged in  exporting exhaustible resource. In  early work  Vanek (1963)  traced through  the changing  pattern of United States trade in natural resources, and suggested that asymmetries in resource use and availability could account for the Leontief paradox. In à context of multi-level trade, the costs of recourse extraction  in one  country often depend on the availability of foreign capital. Kemp and Ohyama (1978) have  presented  à  simple  model  of  North  -  South  trade in  which South  makes use of  Northern  capital  to  develop  its  resources  and  exports  these resources  to the North  where  they  are  used  to  produce  final  commodities[4]. They put  their model to use in  exploring the  normative issue  of different  degrees of  bargaining strength and ability to exploit via export taxes and tariffs in  the two  regions. But  the model also  stresses  the involvement  of capital  flows in  resource extraction.  Schmitz and Helmberger  (1979)  argue  strongly  for  complementarity  between  trade  in  resources and trade in capital, à point also stressed  by Williams  in his  1929 article.  We turn to  consider  more  generally, now,  the interaction  between trade  in goods  and trade in factors.[3]
