Double Implementation in a Market for Indivisible Goods with a Price Constraint

Azacis, Helmuts - Economics Section, Cardiff Business School - 2005

I consider the problem of assigning agents to indivisible objects, in which each agent pays a price for his object and all prices sum to a given constant. The objective is to select an assignment-price pair that is envy-free with respect to the agents' true preferences. I propose a simple...

Double Implementation in a Market for Indivisible Goods with a Price Constraint

Azacis, Helmuts - Departament d'Economia i Història Econòmica, … - 2004

I consider the problem of assigning agents to objects where each agent must pay the price of the object he gets and prices must sum to a given number. The objective is to select an assignment-price pair that is envy-free with respect to the true preferences. I prove that the proposed mechanism...

Application Costs in Sequential Admission Mechanisms

Triossi, Matteo - Collegio Carlo Alberto, Università degli Studi di Torino - 2006

This paper considers a realistic family of admission mechanisms, with multiple applications and application costs. Multiple applications impose serious coordination problems to colleges, but application costs restore stability. Without application costs and under incomplete information unstable...

Monotonicity and Nash implementation in matching markets with contracts

Haake, Claus-Jochen; Klaus, Bettina - 2005

We consider general two-sided matching markets, so-called matching with contracts markets as introduced by Hatfield and … Milgrom (2005), and analyze (Maskin) monotonic and Nash implementable solutions. We show that for matching with contracts …

Games of Capacities: A (Close) Look to Nash Equilibria

Romero-Medina, Antonio; Triossi, Matteo - Collegio Carlo Alberto, Università degli Studi di Torino - 2007

The paper studies two games of capacity manipulation in hospital-intern markets. The focus is on the stability of Nash equilibrium outcomes. We provide minimal necessary and sufficient conditions guaranteeing the existence of pure strategy Nash Equilibria and the stability of outcomes.

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...

On the (im)possibility of improving upon the student-proposing deferred acceptance mechanism

Kesten, Onur; Kurino, Morimitsu - 2012

This paper studies a general school choice problem with or without outside options. The Gale-Shapley student-proposing deferred acceptance mechanism (DA) has played a central role not only in theory but also in important practical applications. We show that in problems where some students cannot...

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 …
