Improving transparency and verifiability in school admissions : theory and experiment

Hakimov, Rustamdjan; Raghavan, Madhav - 2023

Students participating in centralized admissions procedures do not typically have access to the information used to determine their matched school, such as other students' preferences or school priorities. This can lead to doubts about whether their matched schools were computed correctly (the...

Self-Selection in School Choice

Chen, Li - 2018

We study self-selection in centralized school choice, a strategy that takes place when students submit preferences before knowing their priorities at schools. A student self-selects if she decides not to apply to some schools despite being desirable. We give a theoretical explanation for this...

Manipulability in School Choice

Decerf, Benoit; Linden, Martin van der - 2020

We compare the manipulability of school choice mechanisms based on the occurrence of dominant strategies. We characterize dominant strategies in the constrained versions of the deferred acceptance (DA) and Boston (BOS) mechanisms. We leverage our characterizations to show that dominant...

Capacity Design in School Choice

Dur, Umut Mert; Linden, Martin van der - 2021

We study a new variant of the school choice problem in which capacities can be altered by distributing additional seats across schools in response to students’ reported preferences. We show that heuristics solutions to this capacity design problem can be inefficient, even if they focus on...

School choice under partial fairness

Dur, Umut Mert; Gitmez, A. Arda; Yılmaz, Özgür - In: Theoretical economics : TE ; an open access journal in … 14 (2019) 4, pp. 1309-1346

the Student Exchange under Partial Fairness (SEPF). Each member of this class gives a partially stable matching that is … not Pareto dominated by another partially stable matching (i.e. constrained efficient in the class of partially stable … matchings). Moreover, any constrained efficient matching that Pareto improves upon a partially stable matching can be obtained …

School choice and competition

Dijkgraaf, Elbert; Geest, Stephanie van der; Gradus, Raymond - 2008

The literature suggests that competition among schools might increase quality. However, not much empirical evidence is present as only a few countries allow competition at a large scale. One exception is the Netherlands. Free parental choice is the leading principle of the Dutch education system...

Protecting unsophisticated applicants in school choice through information disclosure

Basteck, Christian; Mantovani, Marco - 2016

Unsophisticated applicants can be at a disadvantage under manipulable and hence strategically demanding school choice mechanisms. Disclosing information on applications in previous admission periods makes it easier to asses the chances of being admitted at a particular school, and hence may...
