TLDR

Boston versus deferred acceptance in an interim setting: An experimental investigation

Clayton R. Featherstone, +1 more
- 01 Nov 2016 - 
TL;DR: This work shows that even in simple environments with ample feedback and repetition, agents fail to reach non-truthtelling equilibria, and offers another way forward: implementing truth-telling as an ordinal Bayes–Nash equilibrium rather than as a dominant strategy equilibrium, showing that this weaker solution concept can allow for more efficient mechanisms in theory and in practice.

From Boston to Chinese parallel to deferred acceptance: theory and experiments on a family of school choice mechanisms

Yan Chen, +1 more
TL;DR: The authors characterize a parametric family of application-rejection school choice mechanisms, including the Boston and deferred acceptance mechanisms as special cases, and spanning the parallel mechanisms for Chinese college admissions, the largest centralized matching in the world.

Price floors and competition

Martin Dufwenberg, +3 more
- 19 Jul 2007 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that a high price floor allows competitors to obtain higher profits than a low price floor, and that the effect of a high floor on the overall procompetitive effect for duopolies is larger than that of a low floor.
