We study the welfare effects of school district consolidation, ie the integration of disjoint
school districts into a centralised clearinghouse. We show theoretically that, in the worst …

Stable and extremely unequal
We show how stability as a solution concept in matching often comes at the cost of extreme
forms on inequality. Restricting our attention to aligned preferences, we show that the stable …

Stable matching as transportation
We study matching markets with aligned preferences and establish a connection between
common design objectives--stability, efficiency, and fairness--and the theory of optimal …

JF Escobar, M Valdevenito - 2024 - dii.uchile.cl
A common method to allocate scarce resources is to apply the deferred acceptance
algorithm proposed by Gale and Shapley (1962) and obtain a stable matching. However, a …
