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...

Two-sided matching via balanced exchange : tuition and worker exchanges
Dur, Umut Mert; Ünver, M. Utku - 2015
We introduce a new matching model to mimic two-sided exchange programs such as tuition and worker exchange, in which …

Stability of equilibrium outcomes under deferred acceptance : acyclicity and dropping strategies
Tello, Benjamín - 2018
We consider the problem of matching a set of medical students to a set of medical residency positions (hospitals) under … preference revelation game induced by the student proposing deferred acceptance mechanism. We show that the acyclicity of the …

An impossibility theorem in matching problems
Takagi, Shohei; Serizawa, Shigehiro - 2006
This paper studies the possibility of strategy-proof rules yielding satisfactory solutions to matching problems …. Alcalde and Barberá (1994) show that effcient and individually rational matching rules are manipulable in the one …-to-one matching model. We pursue the possibility of strategy-proof matching rules by relaxing effciency to the weaker condition of …

Fairness and efficiency in a random assignment: Three impossibility results
Nesterov, Alexander S. - 2014
This paper considers the problem of allocating N indivisible objects among N agents according to their preferences when transfers are not allowed, and studies the tradeoff between fairness and efficiency in the class of strategy-proof mechanisms. The main finding is that for strategy-proof...

Market Structure and Matching with Contracts
Westkamp, Alexander - 2010
Ostrovsky [10] develops a theory of stability for a model of matching in exogenously given networks. For this model a … generalization of pairwise stability, chain stability, can always be satisfied as long as agents’ preferences satisfy same side … structure and (cooperative) solution concepts. The main structural condition is an acyclicity notion that rules out the …
