Valeur du spectre hertzien

Revue française d'économie, 2009, vol. Volume XXIV, issue 3, 79-119

Abstract: The substitution from analog broadcasting to more efficient digital broadcasting for television by 2011 is a unique opportunity to modify the allocation of spectrum in those highly prized frequency bands. What would be an efficient reallocation of those frequencies, dubbed ?the digital dividend?? I apply economic principles to value the digital dividend in France. Producer surplus is estimated to 0.35?/MHz/population and consumer surplus to 0.5?/MHz/population. Compared to the decided allocation, an efficient spectrum allocation would have required more bandwidth attributed to mobile broadband from television services.
