While the previous criticism could possibly be incorporated into Krugman's model, this line of criticism is not as helpful since the ingenuity of Krugman's model comes from his ability to solve a complex trading block model by assuming full symmetry across countries. Deardorff and Stem (1992) followed that idea, simplified the framework by dropping the production side, then defined asymmetric endowments of products across countries, and studied for some special cases the sequential fonnation of one trading block which is growing by including single isolated outside countries.
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).
