Figure 9 illustrates the same parameter fields with the resulting number of trading blocks where welfare is minimized. Inside field B (in figure 8), world welfare is monotonously increasing, and hence minimum world welfare occurs in isolation at C=N=60 trading blocks (shown in figure 9). Inside field A (in figure 8), world welfare has an internal minimum, which occurs at C=3 trading blocks when we are in the far upper-left comer, and which approaches C=60 trading blocks when we get closer to the separation line (illustrated in figure 9).
