This work describes the potential gain of spectrum sharing between different mobile technologies. A new bandwidth allocation technique is introduced, allows coexistence and overlap between old and new (relative) mobile generations, operating over the same frequency band. The new proposed...

In this paper we present an innovative framework suitable for the next generation of wireless spectrum allocation. We call our framework - Bring Your Own Spectrum (BYOS) - to highlight the Spectrum as a Service (SaaS) nature of the architecture that allows all participants to be potential...

We assess the aggregate productivity impact of distortions arising from labor regulations in Mexico and how they interact with informality. Using employment surveys and a firm-level economic census, we document a number of novel features about informal firms in Mexico. We then construct and...

The eigenproblem solution of the multi-domain efficient allocation is identified as a direct generalization of the classical Neyman-Tchuprov optimal allocation in stratified SRSWOR. This is achieved through analysis of eigenvalues and eigenvectors of a suitable population-based matrix D. Such...

The purpose of this note is to propose a two-way classification of the axioms of the theory of economic design, and to map out directions for future research that we perceive as particularly promising.

Resource misallocation can lower the aggregate total factor productivity (TFP). We use micro-data on manufacturing establishments from the Instituto Ecuatoriano de Estadística y Censos to quantify the differences in productivity and diagnose the efficiency in the allocation of resources between...
