“…For example, PIs may lead to less cost-reducing R&D, or a deterioration of the quality of products and/or the quality of before-and after-sales services.

This study explores the e↵ect of parallel imports on both domestic and foreign countries when the producer may refuse to provide repair and maintenance services for parallel imported units, or charge higher prices for those services.

If this is the case, both the positive e↵ect of parallel imports on consumers in the destination country and the negative e↵ect on the producer and consumers in the source country become weaker. If the quality of the good depends on the producer's investment, permitting parallel imports in the presence of the service discrimination could lower the quality, because lower quality leads to a larger price gap between countries. As a result, it is possible that prices increase, consumers lose, and welfare deteriorates in both countries. This negative welfare e↵ect is more likely to emerge as the
