Abstract: A number of labor markets and student placement systems can be modeled as
many-to-one matching markets. We analyze the scope for manipulation in many-to-one
matching markets under the student-optimal stable mechanism when the number of ...

We consider the matching with contracts framework of Hatfield and Milgrom [20], and we
introduce new concepts of bilateral and unilateral substitutes. We show that the bilateral
substitutes condition is a sufficient condition for the existence of a stable allocation in this ...

The random priority (random serial dictatorship) mechanism is a common method for
assigning objects. The mechanism is easy to implement and strategy-proof. However, this
mechanism is inefficient, because all agents may be made better off by another ...

The deferred acceptance algorithm is often used to allocate indivisible objects when
monetary transfers are not allowed. We provide two characterizations of agent-proposing
deferred acceptance allocation rules. Two new axioms—individually rational monotonicity ...

The probabilistic serial mechanism (Bogomolnaia and Moulin, 2001 [9]) is ordinally efficient
but not strategy-proof. We study incentives in the probabilistic serial mechanism for large
assignment problems. We establish that for a fixed set of object types and an agent with a ...

Abstract: Hatfield and Milgrom (2005) present a unified model of matching with contracts
phrased in terms of hospitals and doctors, which subsumes the standard two-sided matching
and some package auction models. They show that a stable allocation exists if contracts ...

The theory of two-sided matching markets has interested researchers for its theoretical
appeal and relevance to real-life applications. The matching of medical residents and
hospitals in the United States has been studied extensively by Alvin E. Roth (1984) and ...
Accommodating couples has been a longstanding issue in the design of centralized labor
market clearinghouses for doctors and psychologists, because couples view pairs of jobs as
complements. A stable matching may not exist when couples are present. We find ...

Abstract The Boston mechanism is a centralized student assignment mechanism used in
many school districts in the US. We investigate strategic behavior of students under the
Boston mechanism when schools may have complex priority structures. We show that a ...

Abstract We investigate games of capacity manipulation in hospital-intern markets as
proposed by Konishi and Ünver (Soc Choice Welfare, in press). While Konishi and Ünver
(Soc Choice Welfare, in press) show that there may not exist a pure-strategy Nash ...

In perfect foresight dynamics, an action is linearly stable if expectation that people will
always choose the action is self-fulfilling. A symmetric game is a PIM game if an opponent's
particular action maximizes the incentive of an action, independently of the rest of the ...

In two-sided matching markets, stable mechanisms are vulnerable to various kinds of
manipulations. This paper investigates conditions for the student-optimal stable mechanism
(SOSM) and the college-optimal stable mechanism (COSM) to be immune to ...

Abstract In most variants of the Hotelling-Downs model of election, it is assumed that voters
have concave utility functions. This assumption is arguably justified in issues such as
economic policies, but convex utilities are perhaps more appropriate in others such as ...

There is a fixed set of types of goods O, plus the null good (receiving no good) ø. Let O=
O∪{ø}. Each agent i has strict preferences πi over O. A q-economy is composed of q copies
of each (real) good and infinite copies of ø, and Set of agents: we only assume (number of ...

In a matching problem between students and schools, a mechanism is said to be robustly
stable if it is stable, strategy-proof, and immune to a combined manipulation, where a
student first misreports her preferences and then blocks the matching that is produced by ...
Abstract. This paper investigates the welfare effects of affirmative action policies in school
choice. We show that affirmative action policies can have perverse consequences.
Specifically, we demonstrate that there are market situations in which affirmative action ...

In the college admission problem, we show that the student-optimal stable matching is
weakly Pareto optimal for students if colleges' preferences satisfy substitutability and the law
of aggregate demand. We also show that both of these properties are important for the ...

Abstract. In an attempt to increase the placement of medical residents in rural hospitals, the
Japanese government recently introduced “regional caps” which restrict the total number of
residents matched within each region of the country. To accommodate regional caps, the ...

Stability is a central concept in matching theory, while nonbossiness is important in many
allocation problems. We show that these properties are incompatible: there does not exist a
matching mechanism that is both stable and nonbossy.

We investigate stability of p-dominant equilibria under perfect foresight dynamics. We show
that a strict p-dominant equilibrium with∑ ipi< 1 is globally accessible and absorbing in

Abstract In costly voting models, voters abstain when a stochastic cost of voting exceeds the
benefit from voting. In probabilistic voting models, they always vote for a candidate who
generates the highest utility, which is subject to random shocks. We prove an equivalence ...

In the context of two-sided matching, we propose a new class of preferences called
