A central issue in school choice is the design of a student assignment mechanism. Education literature provides guidance for the design of such mechanisms but does not offer specific mechanisms.

We introduce two new axioms, respect of preference rankings and rank-respecting Maskin monotonicity. A mechanism is the Boston mechanism for some priority if and only if it respects preference rankings and satisfies consistency, res...
متن کاملBanking: A Mechanism Design Approach
We study banking using the tools of mechanism design, without a priori assumptions about what banks are, who they are, or what they do. Given preferences, technologies, and certain frictions including limited commitment and imperfect monitoring we describe the set of incentive feasible allocations and interpret the outcomes in terms of institutions that resemble banks. Our bankers endogenousl...

Using a multi...
