Chapter 1 in The Economics of Counterfeit Trade, 2009, pp 1-6 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract The desire to own a prestigious brand seems to have spread across the world. But multiple factors conspire to prevent most consumers from acquiring a real Prada handbag or Rolex watch. Many search for black-market vendors in places like Chinatown in New York City, venturing like Toth (2007) down dodgy alleys into dingy basements to find fakes at nearly unbelievable prices.
