Trade Patterns Among Industrial Countries : Their Relationship to Technology Differences and Capital Mobility / Mika Saito.

The distinction between the two measures is important to the extent that trade patterns are inconsistent with comparative advantage revealed by the Hicksian measure, but not necessarily with that by the Ricardian measure. The distinction becomes more important in the period with high capital mobility across countries.
