6 McGraw-Hill/Irwin © 2007 The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc., All Rights Reserved. International Factor Price Equalization  With the shift to free trade: For each factor, its rate of return becomes more similar between countries. Under ideal conditions, its real rate of return is the same in different countries.  Example: Labor.  With no trade, the wage rate is high in the labor- scarce country. The wage rate is low in the labor- abundant country.  With free trade, the import of labor-intensive products pushes the wage-rate down in the labor- scarce country. The export of labor-intensive products pulls the wage rate up in the labor- abundant country.
