摘要	Building upon an international model of vertical product differentiation, this paper aims to uncover the impact of parallel import of ‘green and safe’ products from developed countries (North) into developing countries (South) on producing firms’ profitability and social welfare of the related countries. We show that in a broad range of parameterizations and modeling alternatives, the presence of such North-South parallel import increases the profitability of producing firms, promotes trade between North and South and enhances social welfare for these countries. In this context, we study optimal taxation from a Northern perspective and investigate how such optimal taxation and South’s incentive towards trade liberalization with North is affected by North-South parallel import.
