Abstract: Spectrum auctions are the primary mechanism through which governments allocate scarce radio frequencies, with outcomes that shape competition, coverage, and innovation in telecommunications markets. While traditional models of spectrum auctions often rely on strong equilibrium assumptions, we take a more parsimonious approach by modeling bidders as myopic and straightforward: in each round, firms simply demand the bundle that maximizes their utility given current prices. Despite its simplicity, this model proves effective in predicting the outcomes of Canada's 2023 auction of 3800 MHz spectrum licenses. Using detailed round-by-round bidding data, we estimate bidders' valuations through a linear programming framework and validate that our model reproduces key features of the observed allocation and price evolution. We then use these estimated valuations to simulate a counterfactual auction under an alternative mechanism that incentivizes deployment in rural and remote regions, aligning with one of the key objectives set out in the Canadian Telecommunications Act. The results show that the proposed mechanism substantially improves population coverage in underserved areas. These findings demonstrate that a behavioral model with minimal assumptions is sufficient to generate reliable counterfactual predictions, making it a practical tool for policymakers to evaluate how alternative auction designs may influence future outcomes. In particular, our study demonstrates a method for counterfactual mechanism design, providing a framework to evaluate how alternative auction rules could advance policy goals such as equitable deployment across Canada.

Podemos's maximalist posture is preventing Spain enacting an arms embargo on Israel. Other parties (Sumar, ERC) agree it's inadequate but say they can then work to strengthen it, e.g. with surveillance at ports.

I use multiple Web browsers during the day, 1 for personal stuff, and another 1 (or several other ones) for work.
It has always annoyed me that I couldn't choose in which browser the links I open from other apps would be opened. So I finally searched for a tool that would just ask, and I found this: https://
Even wat side-by-side constateringen over de #verkiezingsuitslag.
Vorige uitslag (2023) versus huidige stand van zaken.
Links wint fors (ja, D66 werd tot nu toe altijd meegerekend bij links dus waarom nu niet?)
Anti-antifa verliest meerderheid.
Met GL-PvdA vierpartijencoalitie mogelijk, zonder GL-PvdA niet.
Extreemrechts nauwelijks groter geworden.

Ich denke es wäre für #Frieden oder #Waffenstillstand in #Gaza extrem förderlich, wenn die Bevölkerung des Gaza für die #Massaker am 7. Oktober 2023 um Entschuldigung bitten würde. Eine Voraussetzung dafür wäre natürlich, dass die #Hamas der Bevölkerung des Gaza mitteilt, was sie am 7. Oktober 2023 getan hat. Angesichts dieser sehr hohen Anzahl von Journalisten, die es im Gaza zu geben scheint (extrapoliert aus der Nachricht, dass im Gaza mehr Journalisten getötet wurden als im 1. Und 2. Weltkr…
