In 1960 Raymond Vernon released the theory of the Product Life Cycle, with which he reviewed the effects of globalization of production and how it affects the behavior of imports and exports from both developed and developing countries, depending on their factor endowment.

THE HECKSCHER OHLIN

This model begins with the observation about the different combinations of production factors that countries have (land, capital and labor)

Different combinations of factors of production are needed for the production of each good. That is, for the production of garments, abundant unskilled labor is necessary and little space to produce, but for the production of wheat, vast tracts of land and specialized machinery are needed to harvest.

Demand for the new product begins to

grow in other advanced countries and then foreign producers find a reason to start the production of such goods and in this way. supply their national markets
