Coalition formation in the U.S. Supreme Court: 1969-2009

Brams, Steven J.; Camilo, Gustavo; Franz, Alexandra D. - 2011

We apply a fallback model of coalition formation to decisions of the U.S. Supreme Court, focusing on the seven natural courts, which had the same members for at least two terms, between 1969 and 2009. The predictions of majority coalitions on each of the courts are generally bourn out by the 5-4...

College Admissions Game: Early Action or Early Decision?

Mumcu, Ayse; Saglam, Ismail - 2007

In this paper, we study the long-played, yet until now unmodeled, college admissions game over early admissions plans using a many-to-one matching framework. We characterize the equilibrium strategies of each college involving its early quota out of its total capacity, and the set of admissible...

Two-Sided Matchings: An Algorithm for Ensuring They Are Minimax and Pareto-Optimal

Steven, Brams; Marc, Kilgour - 2013

Gale and Shapley (1962) proposed the deferred-acceptance algorithm for matching (i) college applicants and colleges and (ii) men and women. In the case of the latter, it produces either one or two stable matches whereby no man and woman would prefer to be matched with each other rather than with...
