| Abstract: | The authors describe the problem of parallel imports: unauthorized flows of products across countries, which complete with authorized distribution channels. The traditional economics model of a discriminating monopolist that has different prices for the same good in different markets requires the markets to be separated in some way, usually geographically. The profits from price discrimination can be threatened by parallel imports that allow consumers in the high-priced region some access to the low-price marketplace. |
