在这项研究中，开发了一个多国贸易模式，该模式考虑了特定国家的通信网络互联互通的作用，这加强了中间商业服务的贸易。连接到国际互连网络的国家的数量决定了比较优势的结构。也就是说，拥有互联网络的国家在需要通过网络提供商业服务的方面具有比较优势。在互联互通的国家，这种商品的生产者受益于商业服务的高效传输。这项研究还表明，那些特定国家的网络没有连接到互联网络的国家可能会因为贸易而变得更糟。
In this study a multi-country model of trade is developed that captures the role of country-specific communications network interconnectivity, which enhances trade in intermediate business services. The number of countries connected to internationally interconnected networks is found to determine the structure of comparative advantage. That is, countries with interconnected networks have a comparative advantage in the good that requires business services provided via networks. In connected countries, producers of that good benefit from the efficient transmission of business services. This research also demonstrates that countries whose country-specific networks are not connected to the interconnected networks may become worse off as the result of trade.
