The Linder hypothesis (demand-structure hypothesis) is a [[conjecture]] in economics about [[international trade]] patterns. The hypothesis is that the more similar are the demand structures of countries the more they will trade with one another. Further, international trade will still occur between two countries having identical [[preferences]] and [[factor endowment]]s (relying on specialization to create a [[comparative advantage]] in the production of [[Product differentiation|differentiated]] goods between the two nations).
