Student-optimal interdistrict school choice : district-based versus school-based admissions
(Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques, 2022)
Hafalir, Kojima and Yenmez (2022) introduce a model of interdistrict school choice:
each district consists of a set of schools and the district’s admission rule places applicants to the schools in the district. We show ...
Probabilistic Assignments of Identical Indivisible Objects and Uniform Probabilistic Rules
(Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 2001)
We consider a probabilistic approach to the problem of assigning k indivisible identical objects to a set of agents with single-peaked preferences. Using the ordinal extension of preferences, we characterize the class of ...
Multiple Public Goods and Lexicographic Preferences Replacement Principle
(Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 2001)
We study the problem of locating two public goods for a group of agents with single-peaked preferences over an interval. An alternative specifies a location for each public good. In Miyagawa (1998), each agent consumes ...
On Fixed-Path Rationing Methods
(Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 2001)
Moulin (1999) characterizes the fixed-path rationing methods by efficiency, strategy-proofness, consistency, and resource-monotonicity. In this note, we give a straightforward proof of his result.
Regulation via the Polluter-Pays Principle
(Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 2010-12-13)
We consider the problem of regulating an economy with environmental pollution. We
examine the distributional impact of the polluter-pays principle which requires that any agent compensates all other agents for the damages ...
Top trading with fixed tie-breaking in markets with indivisible goods
(Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 2012-03)
We study markets with indivisible goods where monetary compensations are not possible. Each individual is endowed with an object and a preference relation over all objects. When preferences are strict, Gale's top trading ...
(Minimally) 'epsilon'-incentive compatible competitive equilibria in economies with indivisibilities
(Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 2012-04)
We consider competitive and budget-balanced allocation rules for problems where a number
of indivisible objects and a fixed amount of money is allocated among a group of agents. In 'small' economies, we identify under ...
Arrow's Theorem in Spatial Environments
(Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 2002)
In spatial environments, we consider social welfare functions satisfying Arrow's requirements. i.e., weak Pareto and independence of irrelevant alternatives. When the policy space os a one-dimensional continuum, such a ...
Candidate Stability and Nonbinary Social Choice
(Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 2001)
A desirable property of a voting procedure is that it be immune to the strategic withdrawal of a candidate for election. Dutta, Jackson, and Le Breton (Econometrica, 2001) have established a number of theorems that demonstrate ...
On the constrained efficiency of strategy-proof random assignment
(Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 2023-04-25)
We study random assignment of indivisible objects among a set of agents with strict
preferences. Random Serial Dictatorship is known to be only ex-post efficient and
there exist mechanisms which Pareto-dominate it ex-ante. ...
