The purpose of this paper is to examine the positive aspects of international trade under two alternative assumptions about national economies of scale. One is the case of external effects in which a good produced under increasing returns technology is supplied competitively while scale effects work at the industry level. The other is the case of contestable markets in which economies of scale are internal to the individual firm while the threat of entry induces zero profits. Using Dixit's (1998) diagram, we clarify the relationship between factor price equalization sets and the assumption about economies of scale, i.e., whether national economies of scale are internal or external.
