We characterize a parametric family of application-rejection school choice mechanisms, including the Boston and Deferred Acceptance mechanisms as special cases, and spanning the parallel mechanisms for Chinese college admissions, the largest centralized matching in the world. Moving from one...

This paper reports the first experimental study of the serial and the average cost pricing mechanism under three different treatments: a complete information treatment and two treatments designed to simulate distributed systems like the Internet with extremely limited information, synchronous...

This study presents a laboratory experiment of the first and second price sealed bid auctions with independent private values, where the distribution of bidder valuations is unknown. In our experimental setting, in first price auctions, bids are lower with the presence of ambiguity. This result...
