College Choice Mechanism: The Respect of the Vagueness of Choices
Alexandra, Litsa; Jean-François, Maguet - Centre de Recherche en Économie et Management (CREM) - 2012
Taking as a starting point the theory of matching applied in the case of a problem of college admissions, where one is interested only to strict preference profiles for students and colleges, a part of the literature has been oriented towards profiles of priorities for colleges. In this paper we...

Unraveling Results from Comparable Demand and Supply : An Experimental Investigation
Niederle, Muriel; Roth, Alvin E.; Ünver, M. Utku - 2009
Markets sometimes unravel, with offers becoming inefficiently early. Often this is attributed to competition arising from an imbalance of demand and supply, typically excess demand for workers. However this presents a puzzle, since unraveling can only occur when firms are willing to make early...

Implementing quotas in university admissions: An experimental analysis
Braun, Sebastian; Dwenger, Nadja; Kübler, Dorothea; … - 2012
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...

Iterative versus standard deferred acceptance: Experimental evidence
Bó, Inácio; Hakimov, Rustamdjan - 2016
We run laboratory experiments where subjects are matched to colleges, and colleges are not strategic agents. We test the Gale-Shapley Deferred Acceptance (DA) mechanism versus the Iterative Deferred Acceptance Mechanism (IDAM), a matching mechanism based on a new family of procedures being used...

The iterative deferred acceptance mechanism
Bó, Inácio Guerberoff Lanari; Hakimov, Rustamdjan - 2016
We introduce a new mechanism for matching students to schools or universities, denoted Iterative Deferred Acceptance Mechanism (IDAM), inspired by procedures currently being used to match millions of students to public universities in Brazil and China. Unlike most options available in the...
