We revisit the classical object reallocation problem under strict preferences. When attention is constrained to the set of Pareto-efficient rules, it is known that top trading cycles (TTC) is the only rule that is strategy-proof and individually rational. We relax this constraint and consider...

In the allocation of indivisible objects under weak priorities, a common practice is to break the ties using a lottery and randomize over deterministic mechanisms. Such randomizations usually lead to unfairness and inefficiency ex-ante. We propose and study the concept of ex-ante fairness for...

We study the allocation of indivisible objects under the general endowment structures proposed by Pápai (2000) – the consistent inheritance structures – which specify the initial endowment of objects and also the inheritance of remaining objects after subsets of agents are matched and...
