Distributional constraints are common features in many real matching markets, such as medical residency matching …, school admissions, and teacher assignment. We develop a general theory of matching mechanisms under distributional … is stable and strategy-proof for the individuals. Our proof exploits a connection between a matching problem under …

We study the school choice market with some affirmative action. Kojima (2012) shows that there exists no stable mechanism that respects the spirit of affirmative action. We con- sider stronger affirmative action policy than him, and demonstrate that any stable mechanism can hurt the minority...

This paper develops a tractable theoretical framework for the Top Trading Cycles (TTC) mechanism for school choice that allows quantifying welfare and optimizing policy decisions. We compute welfare for TTC and Deferred Acceptance (DA) under different priority structures, and find that the...
