Primes¶
- Comparative Advantage
- Eaton and Kortum's 2002 Ricardian model
This sourceEmbeds Ricardian comparative advantage in a probabilistic-productivity, gravity-consistent general-equilibrium model estimated on bilateral trade data; the modern quantitative-trade workhorse, supporting the prime's claim about technology-heterogeneity Ricardian models with gravity predictions.
Supported in partVerified against the publisher's abstract
Eaton and Kortum's own abstract confirms a Ricardian trade model with geographic barriers and comparative advantage estimated on 1990 bilateral trade data; it does not state "technology heterogeneity".
“We develop a Ricardian trade model that incorporates realistic geographic features into general equilibrium. It delivers simple structural equations for bilateral trade with parameters relating to absolute advantage, to comparative advantage (promoting trade), and to geographic barriers (resisting it).”

- Gains from Trade
- develop in their quantitative trade models, in international economics, gains from trade underpin the entire theory of comparative advantage, tariff analysis, trade-agreement welfare calculations, and the World Trade Organization's framing of multilateral liberalization.
This sourceQuantitative Ricardian model with technology differences and geographic barriers; supports the Broad-Use claim that quantitative trade models predict bilateral flows and welfare gains.
Supported in partVerified against the publisher's abstract
The paper's own abstract says its quantitative Ricardian model is used to explore the gains from trade and the effects of tariff reduction.
“We use the model to explore various issues such as the gains from trade, the role of trade in spreading the benefits of new technology, and the effects of tariff reduction.”

Verification¶
Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.
Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 2 of 2 citations: 2 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
