Correct answer: C. Support for the Ricardian modal

- B. evidence against the Heckscher-Ohlin model
- C. Support for the Ricardian modal
- D. Support for the Heckscher-Ohlin model
Explanation
MacDougall found that countries with higher labor productivity tended to export more, which is consistent with the Ricardian model's emphasis on productivity differences and comparative advantage. It does not directly test the Heckscher-Ohlin factor-endowment explanation.
