摘要
This note examines how the network externalities of communications activities and trading opportunities interact to determine the structure of comparative advantage between countries. These interactions are obtained by constructing a two-country, two-sector model of trade involving a communications network sector. The role of network interconnectivity, which allows users of a network to communicate with users of another network, is also explored. A comparative advantage in the good that requires network services is held by the countries with interconnected networks.
