How does factor accumulation a¤ect an open economys pattern of international special-ization and returns to capital? We provide a new integrated treatment to this question using a panel of 44 developing and developed countries over the period 1976-2000. The data con\u85rm the Heckscher-Ohlin prediction that, with su ¢ cient di¤erences in country endowments, there is no factor price equalization and countries specialize in di¤erent sub-sets of goods. Innovatively, we obtain the returns to capital implied by this model: these are consistent with the Lucas paradox, which we explain after accounting for cross-country di¤erences in the cost of capital goods. Our \u85ndings are also consistent with Venturas hypothesis that the growth of small ope...
