Is the Diamond Capital of the World Losing its Sparkle? Diamond Trading and Cutting in a Changing Global Economy
Publication date: 20 January 2017
Abstract
The diamond industry has been subject to significant change. There is increased competition from low-wage countries such as India and China, the concern about blood diamonds, and policy issues affecting the viability of trading diamonds. In this case, we study how Antwerp's dominant position in the diamond trade is being challenged and eroded. The case offers a good opportunity to introduce and discuss comparative advantage and relate it to Heckscher-Ohlin type of trade.
