Spectrum auctions: designing markets to benefit the public, industry and the economy
Access to the radio spectrum is vital for modern digital communication. It is an essential component for smartphone capabilities, the Cloud, the Internet of Things, autonomous vehicles, and multiple other new technologies. Governments use spectrum auctions to decide which companies should use what parts of the radio spectrum. Successful auctions can fuel rapid innovation in products and services, unlock substantial economic benefits, build comparative advantage across all regions, and create billions of dollars of government revenues. Poor auction strategies can leave bandwidth unsold and delay innovation, sell national assets to firms too cheaply, or create uncompetitive markets with high mobile prices and patchy coverage that stifles economic growth. Corporate bidders regularly complain that auctions raise their costs, while government critics argue that insufficient revenues are raised. The cross-national record shows many examples of both highly successful auctions and miserable failures. 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
From disclosure to transparency - Essays on firms' voluntary disclosure in a transforming environment
This cumulative thesis is based on three articles.
In the first paper, I investigate firms' greenhouse gas emission disclosure strategies. The results show the potential existence of different disclosure equilibria, which implies different disclosure patterns in different industries. I further identify that disclosure mandates may have an adverse effect on firms' abatement incentives and even their total emissions.
In the second paper, I propose a model to investigate firms’ signaling decisions on the product level.
In the third paper, my coauthors and I investigate the potential and limits of privacy-preserving corporate blockchain applications for information provision. We show that blockchain technology can improve the information environment and outperform traditional institutions. However, we also characterize an adverse mixed-adoption equilibrium in which neither of the two channels realizes its full potential and information provision declines not only for individual firms but also in aggregate
Current issues of the management of socio-economic systems in terms of globalization challenges
The authors of the scientific monograph have come to the conclusion that the management of socio-economic systems in the terms of global challenges requires the use of mechanisms to ensure security, optimise the use of resource potential, increase competitiveness, and provide state support to economic entities. Basic research focuses on assessment of economic entities in the terms of global challenges, analysis of the financial system, migration flows, logistics and product exports, territorial development. The research results have been implemented in the different decision-making models in the context of global challenges, strategic planning, financial and food security, education management, information technology and innovation. The results of the study can be used in the developing of directions, programmes and strategies for sustainable development of economic entities and regions, increasing the competitiveness of products and services, decision-making at the level of ministries and agencies that regulate the processes of managing socio-economic systems. The results can also be used by students and young scientists in the educational process and conducting scientific research on the management of socio-economic systems in the terms of global challenges
Driving green growth in pelagic fish capture businesses in the North-East Atlantic - A case study developing a sustainable balanced scorecard
Management innovation within sustainability has become increasingly relevant with heightened international focus, demand for sustainable development, and green growth. Still, some industries are falling behind. Typically, the pelagic fishing industry is traditionally managed, financially oriented, and bottom line driven, while being completely dependent on sustainable fish stocks. While policy and regulation are the main causes for sustainable progress in the industry, there is a largely untouched potential for driving green growth on the business level. The balanced scorecard from Kaplan and Norton is a management tool that supports the successful implementation of strategy, and it has been modified to include sustainability measures. The sustainable balanced scorecard links sustainability with the traditional balanced scorecard, and it makes it possible to consider non-monetary strategic success factors to impact green growth. Sustainability management, with the sustainable balanced scorecard, is an attempt to overcome the shortcomings of the traditional approaches to environmental and social management. This is done by integrating the triple bottom line framework into the core processes of a business. In our case study, we gather qualitative data through semi-structured interviews from a pelagic fish capture business. Based on results from our data analysis, we propose a sustainable balanced scorecard for driving green growth in the business. Thus, we create a possible starting point for the development of new strategic tools for driving green growth in the pelagic fishing industry
