Switching auctioneering

A maximum 10% of auctioning would make around 210 Mt C02/year available through auctions, out of a total allocated of 2100 Mt C02. The overall shortfall - to be met through emissions abatement (e.g. fuel switching end-use efficiency in the power sector) and international purchase - would then still be only around 100 Mt C02/year, close to the revealed surplus in 2005 and much smaller than the lowest estimates of the total supply of Kyoto project credits. 

Nevertheless, there is some evidence from securities auctions that uniform pricing raises more revenue and produces less concentrated allocations (e.g. Archibald and Malvey, 1998), and it was partly on the basis of this evidence that the US Treasury switched to a uniform-price format in 1998. Furthermore, the UK Department of Trade and Industry expressed a preference for uniform over discriminatory pricing in phase I NER auctions (DTI, 2005). 

In April 1999 the SNDO launched two new linkers, a new 30-year bond (3104, 3.5% 2028) and a new 16-year bond (3105, 3.5% 2015). These two bonds were issued with an inflation floor, meaning that the new bonds had a similar structure to United States and French inflation-indexed bonds. The format of issuing inflation linked bonds was changed, this time moving back to bid price auctions, every three months. The reason being that this type of auction was common at the international level, allowing clearer signals of the volume on offer. The primary dealers were permitted to switch linkers directly with the SNDO on a daily basis, in order to enhance the liquidity of the market. 

In 2000, the SNDO decided to conduct monthly auctions. The SNDO focused on larger issue sizes in coupon linkers, which was to be achieved by outright auctions and switches from zero-coupon linkers. In early 2002, the SNDO held buybacks in the 3002, 0% 2004, to facilitate issuance because the projected budget surplus negated the need for new issuance.

The wireless network consists of the wireless (radio) channels connecting the cell phone to the base station. Once a cell phone signal reaches the base station, it travels through copper or fiber to the central office, where it enters the public switched telephone network, or the Internet. The frequencies used for this transmission are extremely valuable, and electronic auctions conducted by the Federal Communications Commission bring in millions of dollars to the U.S. Treasury.
