Strategy-proof and envy-free random assignment
Basteck, Christian; Ehlers, Lars H. - 2021
We study the random assignment of indivisible objects among a set of agents with strict preferences. We show that there exists no mechanism which is unanimous, strategy-proof and envy-free. Weakening the first requirement to q-unanimity – i.e., when every agent ranks a different object at the...

Fair procedures with naive agents : who wants the Boston mechanism?
König, Tobias; Kübler, Dorothea; Mechtenberg, Lydia; … - 2019
We study preferences over procedures in the presence of naive agents. We employ a school choice setting following Pathak and Sönmez (2008) who show that sophisticated agents are better off under the Boston mechanism than under a strategy-proof mechanism if some agents are sincere. We use lab...
