我们通过国内公司和国外公司在国内市场竞争的国际双寡头垄断模型来分析维修服务的提供（一定比例的耐用部件售后所需的售后服务）。货物贸易自由化如果没有伴随着服务业外国直接投资的自由化，就会促使国内公司建立维修外国公司产品的服务设施。这削弱了企业在产品市场上的竞争，由此产生的反竞争效应伤害了消费者，降低了世界福利。除了反竞争效应，贸易自由化也可能伤害外国公司，因为修复减少了进口商品在产品市场上的销售。服务业外国直接投资的自由化有助于解决这个问题，因为它促使外国公司为自己的产品建立服务设施。
We analyze the provision of repair services (aftermarket services that are required for a certain fraction of durable units after sales) through an international duopoly model in which a domestic firm and a foreign firm compete in the domestic market. Trade liberalization in goods, if not accompanied by the liberalization of foreign direct investment (FDI) in services, induces the domestic firm to establish service facilities for repairing the foreign firm’s products. This weakens the firms’ competition in the product market, and the resulting anti-competitive effect hurts consumers and reduces world welfare. Despite the anti-competitive effect, trade liberalization may also hurt the foreign firm because the repairs reduce the sales of the imported good in the product market. Liberalization of service FDI helps resolve the problem because it induces the foreign firm to establish service facilities for its own products.
