Experiments on centralized school choice and college admissions: a survey
The paper surveys the experimental literature on centralized matching markets, covering
school choice and college admissions models. In the school choice model, one side of the …

Boston versus deferred acceptance in an interim setting: An experimental investigation
CR Featherstone, M Niederle - Games and Economic Behavior, 2016 - Elsevier
While much of the school choice literature advocates strategyproofness, recent research has
aimed to improve efficiency using mechanisms that rely on non-truthtelling equilibria. We …

Clearinghouses for two‐sided matching: An experimental study
We experimentally study the Gale and Shapley, 1962 mechanism, which is utilized in a wide
set of applications, most prominently the National Resident Matching Program (NRMP) …

Static versus dynamic deferred acceptance in school choice: Theory and experiment
In the context of school choice, we experimentally study how behavior and outcomes are
affected when, instead of submitting rankings in the student-proposing or school-proposing …

An experimental study of decentralized matching
F Echenique, A Robinson-Cortés, L Yariv - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2024 - arxiv.org
We present an experimental study of decentralized two-sided matching markets with no
transfers. Experimental participants are informed of everyone's preferences and can make …

Optimal truncation in matching markets
Although no stable matching mechanism can induce truth-telling as a dominant strategy for
all participants (Roth, 1982), recent studies have presented conditions under which truthful …

Not quite the best response: truth-telling, strategy-proof matching, and the manipulation of others
Following the advice of economists, school choice programs around the world have lately
been adopting strategy-proof mechanisms. However, experimental evidence presents a …

Truncation strategies in two-sided matching markets: Theory and experiment
M Castillo, A Dianat - Games and Economic Behavior, 2016 - Elsevier
We investigate strategic behavior in a centralized matching clearinghouse based on the
Gale–Shapley deferred acceptance algorithm. To do so, we conduct a laboratory experiment …

Commitment and (in) efficiency: A bargaining experiment
In many matching markets, bargaining determines who matches with whom and on what
terms. We experimentally investigate allocative efficiency and how subjects' payoffs depend …
