Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study concerns appropriate allocation policies of scare public resources when innovations arise in resource usage technologies and related markets. Here I focus on the wireless communications (i.e. radio spectrum) and the air traffic control (i.e. airspace). I analyzed transition of the policies with the public economic approach. I recognized that costs accrue in the governments from their resource management, and made clear the relationship between the resource allocation and users’ charges and the background of the actual charging systems in each countries and areas, as well as physical and economic characteristics of the technologies. I also reviewed the history of technological innovations and allocation policies. Finally, I argued the appropriate schemes for spectrum and airspace management for governments, which are reflected by the technological changes, from the viewpoint of the beneficiary-pay principle and mitigation of the free rider problem.
