Experimental school choice with parents

Freer, Mikhail; Klein, Thilo; Ortega, Josue - 2026

We conduct the first laboratory school choice experiment in which parents - the relevant decision makers in the field - are the experimental subjects. We compare Deferred Acceptance (DA) with two manipulable but potentially more efficient alternatives: Efficiency-Adjusted Deferred Acceptance...

‘A public economy approach to education : school choice and co-production’ revisited

Wearne, Eric - 2025

The American K12 education system has long been seen as centralized and rigid. The 1990s saw the emergence of several changes, which arguably pushed it in a potentially more polycentric, localized direction. Many school choice policies have developed since then, and a large amount of research...

What Pareto-efficiency adjustments cannot fix

Ortega, Josue; Ziegler, Gabriel; Arribillaga, R. Pablo; … - 2026

The Deferred Acceptance (DA) algorithm is stable and strategy-proof, but can produce matchings that are Pareto-inefficient for students, and thus several alternatives have been proposed to correct this inefficiency that only involve consented priority violations. However, we show that these...

Who benefits from remote schooling? : self-selection and match effects

Bruhn, Jesse; Campos, Christopher; Chyn, Eric; Tran, Anh - 2026

We study the distributional effects of remote learning using a novel approach combining preference data from a conjoint survey with administrative records. Experimentally derived preferences account for selection into remote learning and treatment effect heterogeneity. We validate the approach...

Who chooses and who benefits? : the design of public school choice systems

Campos, Christopher; Bruhn, Jesse; Chyn, Eric; Vazquez, … - 2026

Public school choice has evolved rapidly in the past two decades, as districts roll out new magnet, dual-language, and themed programs to broaden educational opportunity. We use newly collected national data to document that opt-in (voluntary) systems: (i) are the modal design; (ii) are harder...

Incentives in matching markets : counting and comparing manipulating agents

Bonkoungou, Somouaoga; Nesterov, Alexander - 2023

Manipulability is a threat to the successful design of centralized matching markets. However, in many applications some manipulation is inevitable and the designer wants to compare manipulable mechanisms to select the best among them. We count the number of agents with an incentive to manipulate...

The large and likely inefficiency of stable matching mechanisms

We prove that any stable matching mechanism suffers from systematic inefficiency of striking magnitude: in large random markets, any stable allocation is Pareto-inefficient with high probability, and almost all students can simultaneously improve their placements without harming anyone else. We...

Improvable students in school choice
