In this paper, we introduce a new framework for investigating school-choice matching problems and two ex …-ante notions of fairness in lottery design, strong ex-ante stability and ex-ante stability. This frame- work generalizes known one …-to-many two-sided and one-sided matching models. We first show that the new NYC/Boston mechanism fails to satisfy these fairness …

Strategy-Proof and Fair Wages
Svensson, Lars-Gunnar - 2004
A fair division problem with indivisible objects, e.g. jobs, and one divisible good (money) is considered. The individuals consume one object and money. The class of strategy-proof and fair allocation rules is characterized. The allocation rules in the class are like a Vickrey auction bossy and...

The Difference Indifference Makes in Strategy-Proof Allocation of Objects
Jaramillo, Paula; Manjunath, Vikram - UNIVERSIDAD DE LOS ANDES-CEDE - 2011
We study the problem of allocating objects among people. We consider cases where each object is initially owned by someone, no object is initially owned by anyone, and combinations of the two. The problems we look at are those where each person has a need for exactly one object and initially...

Strategy-Proof and Nonbossy Allocation of Indivisible Goods and Money
Svensson, Lars-Gunnar; Larsson, Bo - Nationalekonomiska Institutionen, Ekonomihögskolan - 2000
Which strategy-proof nonbossy mechanisms exist in a model with a finite number of indivisible goods (houses, jobs, positions) and a compensating perfectly divisible good (money)? The main finding is that only a finite number of distributions of the divisible good is consistent with...

Weakly Fair Allocations and Strategy-Proofness
Andersson, Tommy; Svensson, Lars-Gunnar - Nationalekonomiska Institutionen, Ekonomihögskolan - 2007
This paper investigates the problem of allocating two types of indivisible objects among a group of agents when a priority-order must be respected and when only restricted monetary transfers are allowed. Since the existence of a fair allocation not generally is guaranteed due the the...
