这项研究探讨了当生产商可能拒绝为平行进口机组提供维修服务时，平行进口的福利效应，这降低了国家之间的价格趋同程度。如果产品崩溃的概率是由生产商内生决定的，那么允许平行进口可能会增加这种可能性，因为更高的可能性会导致更大的价格差距。因此，两国都有可能出现物价上涨和福利恶化的情况。随着货物贸易自由化的推进，这种负面福利效应更有可能出现。禁止服务歧视恢复了积极的福利效应。
This study explores the welfare effects of parallel imports when the producer may refuse to provide repair services for parallel imported units, which reduces the degree of price convergence between countries. If the probability of the product’s breakdown is endogenously determined by the producer, permitting parallel imports could increase the probability, because a higher probability leads to a larger price gap. As a result, it is possible that prices increase and welfare deteriorates in both countries. This negative welfare effect is more likely to emerge as the liberalization of trade in goods proceeds. The prohibition of service discrimination recovers the positive welfare effect.
