Beyond Truth-Telling: Preference Estimation with Centralized School Choice and College Admissions

Abstract: We propose novel approaches and tests for estimating student preferences with data from centralized matching mechanisms, like the Gale-Shapley Deferred Acceptance, when students are strictly ranked by, e.g., test scores. Without requiring truthtelling to be the unique equilibrium, we show that the matching is (asymptotically) stable, or justified-envy-free, implying that every student is matched with her favorite school/college among those she is qualified for ex post. Having illustrated the approaches in simulations, we apply them to school choice data from Paris and demonstrate evidence supporting stability but not truth-telling. We discuss when each approach is more appropriate in real-life settings.

Existence of steady states for the maxwell–schrödinger–poisson system: exploring the applicability of the concentration–compactness principle

Abstract: This paper is intended to review recent results and open problems concerning the existence of steady states to the Maxwell-Schrodinger system. A combination of tools, proofs and results are presented in the framework of the concentration--compactness method.

Stability Results for Logarithmic Sobolev and Gagliardo–Nirenberg Inequalities

Abstract: This paper is devoted to improvements of functional inequalities based on scalings and written in terms of relative entropies. When scales are taken into account and second moments fixed accordingly, deficit functionals provide explicit stability measurements, i.e., bound with explicit constants distances to the manifold of optimal functions. Various results are obtained for the Gaussian logarithmic Sobolev inequality and its Euclidean counterpart, for the Gaussian generalized Poincare inequalities and for the Gagliardo-Nirenberg inequalities. As a consequence, faster convergence rates in diffusion equations (fast diffusion, Ornstein-Uhlenbeck and porous medium equations) are obtained.
