    On Preference, Freedom and Diversity

    No full text
    The original publication is available at www.springerlink.comWe study the problem of ranking sets of options in terms of freedom of choice.We propose a framework in which both the diversity of the options and the preferences of the agent over the options do play a role.We formulate some axioms that reflect these two aspects of freedom and we study their logical implications. Two different criteria for ranking sets are characterized, which generalize some of the rankings proposed so far in the literature.Vito Peragine acknowledges financial support from BEC-2001-1653 and the MIUR, Italy (research project on “The Analysis and Measurement of Freedom”).

    Stability in one-sided matching markets

    No full text
    The stable roommates problem may be unsolvable for sorne instances, therefore we study a relaxation, when it is allowed to form groups of any size (the stable partition problem). Two extensions of preferences over individuals to preferences over sets are suggested. For the first one, derived from the most prefered member of a set, it is shown that a stable partition always existis if the original preferences are strict and a simple algorithm for its computation is derived. This algorithm turns out to be strategy proof. The second extension, based on the least prefered member of a set, produces solutions very similar to those for the stable roornmates problem

    In this note we prove that group strategy-proofness and strategyproofness are equivalent requirements on stable mechanisms in prioritybased resource allocation problems with multi-unit demand.Both authors acknowledge financial support from MEC under project ECO2014 57442 P and from Fondecyt under project No. 1151230.

    Take-it-or-leave-it contracts in many-to-many matching markets

    No full text
    We study a class of sequential non-revelation mechanisms through which hospitals make simultaneous take-it-or-leave-it offers to doctors. The inclusion of contracts shrinks the set of equilibrium outcomes and harms doctors more than hospitals, but it maintains the stability of the set of equilibrium outcomes. Our analysis reveals the existence of a first-mover advantage that is absent from the model without contracts. The mechanisms of this class are outcome equivalent and implement the set of stable allocations in subgame perfect equilibrium when enough competitive pressure is present. Equilibrium outcomes form a lattice when preferences are substitutable.Both authors acknowledge financial support received from Ministerio Economía y Competitividad (Spain) under project ECO2014_57442_P and from Fondecyt under project No. 1151230.

    Two-sided strategy-proofness in many-to-many matching markets

    No full text
    We study the existence of group strategy-proof stable rules in many to-many matching markets. We show that when firms have acyclical preferences over workers the set of stable matchings is a singleton, and the worker-optimal stable mechanism is a stable and group strategy-proof rule for firms and workers. Furthermore, acyclicity is the minimal condition guaranteeing the existence of stable and strategy-proof mechanisms in many-to-many matching markets.Both authors acknowledge financial support from Ministerio Economía y Competitividad (Spain) under project ECO2014 57442 P and from Fondecyt under project No. 1151230.

    Boosting scientific research : evidence from a public program

    No full text
    We analyze the design of a unique Spanish public program aimed at recruiting high quality researchers in public research centers: the Ramón y Cajal Program. We claim that, after a number of calls, the program design changed in response to agents' needs. Exploiting data on applications and candidates we find that the new program design led to significant changes in the probability of being awarded with a contract. In particular, opportunities for candidates without attachment to the system were equalized.We thank the Subdirección General de Formación y Movilidad del Personal Investigador (Spanish Office of Training and Mobility of Researchers) for providing the raw data, and Miguel Benavente for help in data handling. Research funding from Ministry of Education, Grant Nos. ECO2009-11165 (Alonso-Borrego), ECO2011-25330 (Romero-Medina and Triossi) and ECO2009-10287 (Sánchez-Mangas) is acknowledged
