This study empirically examines a sample of national wireless spectrum assignments for the period 2000-2007 to identify the sources of revenue variations. An econometric model that recognises the censored nature of the sample relates per capita winning bid (per Mhz) values to auction design...

This paper examines the relationships between spectrum auction design and the prices paid for national 3G wireless licenses. Of particular interest is how auction features that can be modified by policy-makers determine prices paid for spectrum. Our theoretical and empirical analysis is based on...
