This paper analyzes the sequential admissions procedure for medical subjects at public
universities in Germany. Complete information equilibrium outcomes are shown to be …

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 generalize the school choice problem by defining a notion of allowable priority
violations. In this setting, a weak axiom of stability (partial stability) allows only certain priority …

We consider a model where each agent has an outside option of privately known value. At a
given allocation, we call the set of agents who do not exercise their outside options the …

Organizations often rotate employees' jobs. This paper proposes a market design approach
to organize job rotation. In our model each employee has occupied a position, and if any …

We generalize standard school choice models to allow for interdependent preferences and
differentially informed students. We show that, in general, the commonly used deferred …

We study random assignment of indivisible objects among a set of agents, when each agent
is to receive one object and has strict preferences over the objects. Random Serial …

A set of indivisible objects is allocated among agents with strict preferences. Each object has
a weak priority ranking of the agents. A collection of priority rankings, a priority structure, is …

We study the indivisible object allocation problem without monetary transfer, in which each
object is endowed with a weak priority ordering over agents. It is well known that stability is …

We consider a general model of indivisible goods allocation with choice-based priorities, as
well as the special case of school choice. Stability is the main normative consideration for …
