本文提出了一个三国商业服务贸易模型，该模型考虑了时区在分工中的作用。商业服务部门通过通信网络(例如，互联网)的连接被发现决定了比较优势的结构。也就是说，两个拥有相互联系的服务部门的国家在需要商业服务的商品方面具有比较优势。这也表明，第三国不可避免地专攻不需要商业服务的商品。
This paper proposes a three-country model of business services trade that captures the role of time zones in the division of labor. The connectivity of business service sectors via communications networks (e.g., the Internet) is found to determine the structure of comparative advantage. That is, two countries with connected service sectors have a comparative advantage in the good that requires business services. It is also shown that the third country inevitably specializes in the good that does not require business services.
