Mehmet Oz, M.D., director, Cardiovascular Institute, Columbia University Medical Center, author of You: The Owner’s Manual A ‘ bad’, and all too common, mistake in spectrum auctions comes from setting excessive reserve prices in a vain attempt to increase revenue – you can ‘lead the horse to water’ at the auction, but the minister or regulator setting the reserve prices cannot make the companies that are bidding ‘drink’ by buying the spectrum licence if the reserve price is more than they are willing to pay. There has been unsold spectrum in auctions in, for example, the Czech Republic, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Romania, Slovenia, Spain, Switzerland, and Turkey. Based on the author's huge experience in spectrum auction design and policy development, this valuable book is essential reading for any practitioner working in the field." Dean Ornish has given us a delightfully readable, information-rich and extraordinarily helpful guide to a better, healthier life. Read The Spectrum for yourself – and give a copy to someone you love.” But there is context dependence, because auction rules in Germany – such as allowing companies to see the details of exactly what other bidders have been doing – seem to work to deliver reasonably efficient spectrum allocations in that economic and cultural context (at least in auctions since 1999). However, such an open information policy could lead more frequently to undesired tacit collusion in other countries.

Crafting an effective auction design necessitates striking a balance among various factors, including the goals of the NRA, bidder incentives, pre- and post-auction market structure, and prevailing political constraints.Your research shows that managing stress and enhancing emotional health are important parts of THE SPECTRUM. Drawing on experience from the UK and other countries, senior regulator Geoffrey Myers explains how to optimise the regulatory design of auctions, from initial planning to final implementation. Spectrum Auctions offers unrivalled expertise for regulators and economists engaged in practical auction design or company executives planning bidding strategies. For applied economists, teachers, and advanced students this book provides unrivalled insights in market design and public management. Providing clear analytical frameworks, case studies of auctions, and stage-by-stage advice, it is essential reading for anyone interested in designing public-interested and successful spectrum auctions. Overall, we can see that we do not need science fiction to achieve success in spectrum auctions, just the smart application of expertise to the public policy challenges of designing markets to benefit the public, industry and the economy. If you’re healthy, you many not need or want to make very many changes at all–the “ounce of prevention.” On the other hand, if you are trying to reverse heart disease or diabetes, you’ll probably need to make bigger changes–the “pound of cure.” Paul Milgrom, Shirley and Leonard Ely professor of Humanities and Sciences in the Department of Economics at Stanford University, and co-winner of the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences in 2020 'for improvements to auction theory and inventions of new auction formats'

While this book provides a quite thorough review of spectrum auctions, it is not a technical guide. For those keen on deepening their understanding of this subject, it would be prudent to supplement their learning by consulting additional resources such as texts by Paul Klemperer’s Auction Theory and Practice, Evan Kwerel and Gregory Rosston’s An Insiders’ View of FCC Spectrum Auctions, offering parallel insights from the US, my own book, A Primer on Auction Design, Management and Strategy: and Vijay Krishna’s, Auction Theory. This is a comprehensive guide to designing and conducting mobile spectrum auctions from the auctioneer's perspective. In addition to auction design, the book covers how auction formats interact with policy objectives and offers the potential of the lessons learnt from high stakes spectrum auctions finding relevance in the design of auctions of other public goods such as permissions for offshore wind farms."
