School choice with controlled choice constraints: Hard bounds versus soft bounds

Dynamic reserves in matching markets
We study a school choice problem under affirmative action policies where authorities
reserve a certain fraction of the slots at each school for specific student groups, and where …

A theory of school‐choice lotteries
We introduce a new notion of ex ante stability (or fairness) that would be desirable for a
