Coase Moot Court: Resolved: A True Coasian Would Favor A Spectrum Commons (Moot Court room 80)
Nobel Prize winning economist Ronald Coase criticized the FCC’s spectrum policy in 1959, arguing that rules preempting private ownership of spectrum led to catastrophic inefficiencies in the market. In honor of Coase's contribution, in this moot court “property” and “commons” proponents will debate which architecture most effectively promotes efficiency and innovation.
