We rationalize the puzzling existence of binding quotas that are not fully utilized. Our model has its roots in Bhagwati (1965) on tariffs/quotas equivalence and is related to the I0 literature on pre-emption. We study the conditions that lead a monopolist, facing a quota-restricted market, to buy the quota licenses itself and the condi-tions under which they may remain unused. The divisibility of the quota is crucial for the monopolist to pre-emptively buy the quota. Further-more, we study the implications of "use-it-or-lose-it" clauses commonly imposed on auctioned quotas.N/
