Optimal mechanism design when both allocative inefficiency and expenditure inefficiency matter

Yoon, Kiho - In: Journal of Mathematical Economics 47 (2011) 6, pp. 670-676

We characterize the structure of optimal assignment rules when both allocative inefficiency and expenditure inefficiency (e.g., rent-seeking) are present. We find that the optimal structure critically depends on how the hazard rate of the value distribution behaves, and that it is often optimal...

Pseudomarkets with Priorities in Large Random Assignment Economies

Miralles, Antonio - Barcelona Graduate School of Economics (Barcelona GSE) - 2011

I study large random assignment economies with a continuum of agents and a finite number of object types. I consider … of 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 …
