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 …

F Echenique, AJ Wilson, L Yariv - Quantitative Economics, 2016 - Wiley Online Library
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

F Klijn, J Pais, M Vorsatz - Games and Economic Behavior, 2019 - Elsevier

Optimal truncation in matching markets

P Coles, R Shorrer - Games and Economic Behavior, 2014 - Elsevier
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

P Guillen, R Hakimov - Experimental Economics, 2017 - Springer
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
