In 2000 and 2001, several European countries carried out auctions for third generation technologies or universal mobile telephone services (UMTS) communication licenses. These "spectrum auctions" inaugurated yet another era in an industry that has already been transformed by a combination of staggering technological innovation and substantial regulatory change. Because of their spectacular but often puzzling outcomes, these spectrum auctions attracted enormous attention and invited new research on the interplay of auctions, industry dynamics, and regulation. This book collects essays on this topic by leading analysts of telecommunications and the European auction experience, all but one presented at a November 2001 CESifo conference; comments and responses are included as well, to preserve some of the controversy and atmosphere of give-and-take at the conference.The essays show the interconnectedness of two important and productive areas of modern economics, auction theory and industrial organization. Because spectrum auctions are embedded in a dynamic interaction of consumers, firms, legislation, and regulation, a multidimensional approach yields important insights. The first essays discuss strategies of stimulating new competition and the complex interplay of the political process, regulation, and competition. The later essays focus on specific spectrum auctions. Combining the empirical data these auctions provide with recent advances in microeconomic theory, they examine questions of auction design and efficiency and convincingly explain the enormous variation of revenues in different auctions. 001386315 588__ $$aOCLC-licensed vendor bibliographic record. 001386315 650_0 $$aTelecommunication$$vCase studies. 001386315 650_0 $$aTrade regulation$$vCase studies. 001386315 650_0 $$aCompetition$$vCase studies. 001386315 653__ $$aINFORMATION SCIENCE/Communications & Telecommunications 001386315 653__ $$aECONOMICS/Industrial Organization 001386315 655_0 $$aElectronic books 001386315 7001_ $$aIlling, Gerhard. 001386315 7001_ $$aKlüh, Ulrich. 001386315 7102_ $$aUniversität München.$$bInstitut für Wirtschaftsforschung. 001386315 852__ $$bebk 001386315 85640 $$3MIT Press$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://doi.org/10.7551/mitpress/6400.001.0001?locatt=mode:legacy$$zOnline Access through The MIT Press Direct 001386315 85642 $$3OCLC metadata license agreement$$uhttp://www.oclc.org/content/dam/oclc/forms/terms/vbrl-201703.pdf 001386315 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1386315$$pGLOBAL_SET 001386315 980__ $$aBIB 001386315 980__ $$aEBOOK 001386315 982__ $$aEbook 001386315 983__ $$aOnline
