[1] In Jones (1980) a two-country Recardian model is illustrated in which one commodity requires an intermediate input and technologies differ between countries The pattern of trade can be reversed as a result of variations in the price of the traded intermediate.

[2] Both papers cite the use of the continuum concept in Dornbusch, Fischer, and Samuelson (1977).

[3] À limitation of both papers is the assumption that costs (or factor proportions) move monotonically from lower to higher stages of production. If not, trade may take place à1 many points in the productive spectrum in the absence of inhibiting transport costs.

[4] This model is described in simplified terms by Findlay (1979).
