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.

无线电信正在经历重大的政策改革，以追求更好的频谱效率。这些改革的一个关键要素是向频谱许可证持有者授予完整的产权，从而为二级频谱市场铺平道路。频谱市场在提高频谱利用率方面具有巨大潜力，可以以更低的成本向更多公众提供频谱。然而，尽管过去几年已经实施了有利的监管框架，但由于频谱许可证持有者认为存在不确定性，频谱市场的流动性受到抑制。这些不确定性源于电磁干扰影响与经济考虑之间的复杂关系。这项研究涉及通过建立使频谱市场的参与者获利的方法和算法来对频谱市场的生存能力进行建设性研究。研究者重点关注频谱市场盈利能力的分析研究及其实证验证。该研究计划的主要目标是：(i) 定价和干扰外部性的基本要素，以实现高效且经济上可行的频谱使用； (ii) 现货市场使用算法和基于实时测量的定价政策； (iii) 通过实验研究测试需求模型规范的实证技术以及需求-价格关系的形成模型。这项研究是跨学科的，它基于在无线通信和频谱市场的特定背景下识别经济学中新颖和经典概念的体现。该研究影响未来无线行业的法律和经济政策，并提供评估二级频谱市场潜力的工具。
