Gottfried Haberler (German: [ˈhaːbɐlɐ]; July 20, 1900 – May 6, 1995; until 1919[1] Gottfried von Haberler) was an Austrian-American economist.[2][3][4] He worked in particular on international trade.[5] One of his major contributions was reformulating the Ricardian idea of comparative advantage in a neoclassical framework, abandoning the labor theory of value for an opportunity cost concept.[6]
