B Marshall
C Heckscher & Ohlin
D Haberler

Correct Answer: Haberler

Haberler propounded the opportunity cost theory of international trade. Gottfried Haberler has attempted to restate the comparative costs in terms of opportunity cost. He demonstrates that the doctrine of comparative costs can hold valid even if the labour theory of value is discarded. The theory determines the cost of producing a commodity in terms of the alternative production that has to be foregone for producing the commodity in question.
