Constrained stability in two-sided matching markets
In two-sided matching markets, not every worker-firm (doctor-hospital) pair can match with each other even if they would rather do so due to possible...
-
Reallocation with priorities and minimal envy mechanisms
We investigate the problem of reallocation with priorities where one has to assign objects or positions to individuals. Agents can have an initial...

Weak stability and Pareto efficiency in school choice
We study the trade-off between stability and students’ welfare in school choice problems. We call a matching weakly stable if none of its blocking...

Bipartite choices
This piece in the Milestones series is dedicated to the paper coauthored by David Gale and Lloyd Shapley and published in 1962 under the title...

On the solvability of three-agent task allocation with unqualified agents priority structures
In this paper, we study the problem of solvability for task allocation with unqualified agents (TAU) priority structures proposed by Ehlers and...

Cultural assimilation and segregation in heterogeneous societies
I propose a model of cultural assimilation with endogenous social networks and idiosyncratic assimilation patterns that is consistent with the...

Local stability constraints
This note revisits the well-known class of one-to-one, frictionless labor-matching markets with perfect transferable utilities and heterogeneous...

Axiomatic characterizations of the constrained probabilistic serial mechanism
Afacan (Games and Economic Behavior 110: 71-89, 2018) introduces an object allocation with random priorities problem. He proposes the constrained...

Kidney exchange with immunosuppressants
Recent developments in immunosuppressive protocols have enabled patients to receive kidney transplants from biologically incompatible donors. We...

Characterizing priorities for deferred acceptance with or without outside options
In a model of priority-based allocation of indivisible objects where there may not be outside options, we characterize the priority structures under...

Take-it-or-leave-it contracts in many-to-many matching markets
We study a class of sequential non-revelation mechanisms in which hospitals make simultaneous take-it-or-leave-it offers to doctors. We prove that...

Empirical content of classic assignment methods: jungle and market economy
We study the empirical content of serial dictatorship and the core of housing markets. Under serial dictatorship, allocations reveal restrictions on...

Paths to stable allocations
The stable allocation problem is one of the broadest extensions of the well-known stable marriage problem. In an allocation problem, edges of a...

Sequential school choice with public and private schools
We investigate sequential two-stage admission systems with public and private schools. A sequential notion of truthfulness, called...

Downstream competition and upstream labor market matching
This study investigates how externalities from downstream competition shape sorting in upstream labor markets. I model this as a two-stage game: A...

Consistent Pareto improvement over the student-optimal stable mechanism
We show that there is no consistent Pareto improvement over any stable mechanism. We introduce the following weakly consistent Pareto improvement ( ove...

Some remarks on the modeling of discrete matching markets
This paper shows that the college admissions model with responsive preferences is not always satisfactory for representing real college admissions...

The core of school choice problems
We propose a notion of core for school choice (i.e., priority-based allocation) problems. We say that a coalition of students is able to enforce a...

Optimizing Trading Recommendations in Portfolio Trading: A Bilateral Matching Theory Approach
The development of information systems has greatly changed our way of life, and many group activities, including communication and trading, can be...

Generalized cumulative offer processes
In the context of the matching-with-contracts model, we generalize the cumulative offer process to allow for arbitrary subsets of doctors to make...
