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 …

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...
