arise from either the Heckscher-Ohlin or Ricardo theories. The Linder hypothesis is the "theory that a countrys ability to export depends on domestic demand, so that countries that demand
similar goods will trade more with each other than will countries with dissimilar demands" Unit 5 IP1 Millman (1998) presents Dow Chemical
