Feeny (1982, pp. 26-28) referred to a three-factor two-good generalequilibrium trade model, when he explained the relative importance of trade andfactor endowments in Thailand 1880-1940. For example, Feeny (1982) stated thatthe growth in labor stock would be responsible for a substantial increase inrice output relative to textile output. Is Feeny's statement plausible? Thepurpose of this paper is to derive the Rybczynski sign patterns, which expressthe factor endowment--commodity output relationship, for Thailand during theperiod 1920 to 1927 using the EWS (economy-wide substitution)-ratio vector. A'strong Rybczynski result' necessarily holds. I derived three Rybczynski signpatterns. However, a more detailed estimate allowed a reduction from threecandidates to two. I restrict the analysis to the period 1920-1927 because ofdata availability. The results imply that Feeny's statement might notnecessarily hold. Hence, labor stock might not affect the share of exportablesector in national income positively. Moreover, the percentage of Chineseimmigration in the total population growth was not as large as expected. Thisstudy will be useful when simulating real wage in Thailand.
