Wireless telecommunications are undergoing substantial policy reforms in pursuit of better spectral efficiency. A key element in these reforms entails granting full property rights to spectrum license holders, thereby paving the way to secondary spectrum markets. Spectrum markets hold a remarkable potential to increase spectrum utilization by making it available to a larger fraction of public at lower cost. Yet, although a favorable regulatory framework has been in effect in the last few years, liquidity of spectrum markets is inhibited due to uncertainties perceived by spectrum license holders. These uncertainties stem from complex relationships between effects of electromagnetic interference and economic considerations. This research involves a constructive study of viability of spectrum markets by establishing methods and algorithms that render such markets profitable for their participants.The investigators focus on analytical study of profitability of spectrum markets, and its empirical verification. Main thrusts of the research program are: (i) fundamental elements of pricing and interference externalities for efficient and economically viable use of spectrum; (ii) algorithms for spot market use and real-time measurement-based pricing policies; (iii) empirical techniques for testing demand model specification, and formative models of demand-price relationships via experimental studies. This research is interdisciplinary and it is based on identifying incarnations of both novel and classical notions in economics in the specific context of wireless communications and spectrum markets.The research impacts legal and economic policies for the future wireless industry and provides a tool for assessing potentials of the secondary spectrum market.

无线电信正在进行实质性的政策改革，以提高光谱效率。这些改革的关键要素是授予频谱许可证持有人的全部财产权，从而铺平了通往二级频谱市场的道路。频谱市场通过以较低的成本向更大的公众提供可用来增加频谱利用率的潜力。然而，尽管过去几年有一个有利的监管框架生效，但由于光谱许可证持有人认为的不确定性，频谱市场的流动性受到了抑制。这些不确定性源于电磁干扰和经济考虑的影响之间的复杂关系。这项研究涉及对频谱市场可行性的建设性研究，该研究通过建立使此类市场有利可图的方法和算法的算法和算法。研究计划的主要推力是：（i）定价和干扰外部性的基本要素，以有效且经济地使用频谱； （ii）用于现货市场使用和基于实时测量的定价政策的算法； （iii）测试需求模型规范的经验技术，以及通过实验研究的需求价格关系的形成性模型。这项研究是跨学科的，它基于在无线通信和光谱市场的特定背景下确定经济学新颖和经典概念的化身。该研究影响未来无线行业的法律和经济政策，并为评估二级频谱市场的潜力提供了工具。
