Designing random allocation mechanisms: Theory and applications

E Budish, YK Che, F Kojima, P Milgrom - American economic review, 2013 - aeaweb.org
Randomization is commonplace in everyday resource allocation. We generalize the theory

Matching, allocation, and exchange of discrete resources

T Sönmez, MU Ünver - Handbook of social Economics, 2011 - Elsevier
We present a survey of the emerging literature on the design of matching markets. We

A theory of school‐choice lotteries

O Kesten, MU Ünver - Theoretical Economics, 2015 - Wiley Online Library
We introduce a new notion of ex ante stability (or fairness) that would be desirable for a
school‐choice mechanism to satisfy. Our criterion stipulates that a mechanism must be …

We study multi-type housing markets, where there are p≥ 2 types of items, each agent is
initially endowed one item of each type, and the goal is to design mechanisms without …

The probabilistic serial mechanism with private endowments

Ö Yılmaz - Games and Economic Behavior, 2010 - Elsevier
A random assignment is ordinally efficient if it is not stochastically dominated with respect to
individual preferences over sure objects. When there are no private endowments, the set of …
