Abstract
We argue that it is the number of agents using market power, rather than the use of market power itself, that may drive Ricardian economies into autarchy. As a consequence, the monopoly equilibrium outcome Pareto-dominates the oligopoly one. Thus, counter-intuitively, a non monotonic relationship between number of agents endowed with market power and economic efficiency may emerge.
