Überlastete Universitätsverwaltungen und langwierige Nachrückverfahren sind die Folge der dezentralen Vergabe von Studienplätzen. Um die Studienplatzvergabe künftig schneller und einfacher abwickeln zu können, soll die Zentralstelle für die Vergabe von Studienplätzen (ZVS) die...

We investigate the matching algorithm used by the German central clearinghouse for university admissions (ZVS) in medicine and related subjects. This mechanism consists of three procedures based on final grades from school (Abiturbestenverfahren, Auswahlverfahren der Hochschulen) and on waiting...

Quotas for special groups of students often apply in school or university admission procedures. This paper studies the performance of two mechanisms to implement such quotas in a lab experiment. The first mechanism is a simplified version of the mechanism currently employed by the German central...
