我们构建了一个与异质零售商的贸易模型，以检验贸易自由化对零售市场结构、进口和社会福利的影响。我们特别感兴趣的是调查进口价格下降对消费者价格的影响以及零售市场监管的影响。该论文表明，当考虑到零售市场结构的变化时，进口价格的变化可能对消费者价格和进口量产生重大影响，而在一些国家发生的零售限制可能会通过减少进口和提高消费者价格来显着改变这种传导机制。
We construct a model of trade with heterogeneous retailers to examine the effects of trade liberalization on retail market structure, imports and social welfare. We are especially interested in investigating the transmission of lower import prices into consumer prices and the effects of retail market regulation. The paper shows that changes in import prices may have large effects on consumer prices and import volumes when changes in retail market structure are taken into account, and that restrictions on retailing, as they occur in several countries, may significantly alter this transmission mechanism by reducing imports and raising consumer prices.
