摘要

Abstract of the paper

This study investigates the effects of parallel imports in two-sided markets, which increase profits for manufacturers when products have the nature of two-sided markets. Additionally, parallel imports increase consumer surplus and social welfare in all countries, if network externalities from both sides are large enough. However, if one of the externalities is small while the other is large, parallel imports can hurt consumers and welfare of all countries.
