Efficient random assignment under a combination of ordinal and cardinal information on preferences

Athanassoglou, Stergios - 2011

Consider a collection of m indivisible objects to be allocated to n agents, where m Ï n. Each agent falls in one of two distinct categories: either he (a) has a complete ordinal ranking over the set of individual objects, or (b) has a set of plausible benchmark von Neumann-Morgenstern (vNM)...

The Weekend School Effect on Perceived Cognitive and Social Competences: Evidence from a Randomized Controlled Experiment

Van Klaveren, C.; Terwijn, H.; Meyer, E. - Top Institute for Evidence Based Education Research - 2011

This study reports the results of a randomized controlled experiment in the Netherlands that was conducted in 2005 to examine if a Weekend School did positively affect perceived competences. For this purpose, 216 Dutch 7thgraders (aged 10/11) were randomly assigned to a Weekend School program...

Evaluation of an Extended Day Program in the Netherlands: A Randomized Field Experiment

Meyer, E.; Van Klaveren, C. - Top Institute for Evidence Based Education Research - 2011

Policies that aim at improving student achievement frequently increase instructional time, for example by means of an extended day program. There is, however, hardly any evidence that these programs are effective, and the few studies that allow causal inference indicate that we should expect...

Pseudomarkets with Priorities in Large Random Assignment Economies

Miralles, Antonio - Departament d'Economia i Història Econòmica, … - 2011

I study large random assignment economies with a continuum of agents and a finite number of object types. I consider … the same priority type. Assuming enough richness in preferences and priorities, the converse is also true: any random … assignment with these properties could be achieved through an equilibrium in a pseudomarket with priorities. If priorities are …

Efficient Random Assignment under a Combination of Ordinal and Cardinal Information on Preferences

Athanassoglou, Stergios - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2011

Consider a collection of m indivisible objects to be allocated to n agents, where m = n. Each agent falls in one of two distinct categories: either he (a) has a complete ordinal ranking over the set of individual objects, or (b) has a set of “plausible” benchmark von Neumann-Morgenstern...
