Room assignment-rent division: A market approach
نویسندگان
چکیده
A group of friends consider renting a house but they shall first agree on how to allocate its rooms and share the rent. We propose an auction mechanism for room assignment-rent division problems which mimics the market mechanism. Our auction mechanism is efficient, envy-free, individually-rational and it yields a non-negative price to each room whenever that is possible with envy-freeness.

Randomised Room Assignment-Rent Division
The room assignment-rent division problem allocates a heterogeneous set of indivisible items (e.g. rooms in a house) along with a share of some divisible item (e.g. the rent for the house), such that all items and resources are allocated without surplus or deficit, and each agent receives exactly one indivisible item. It is desirable to have envy-free outcomes but this is not possible for deter...

This study demarcates costinefficiency in Chinese banks into X-inefficiency and rent-seekinginefficiency. A protected banking market not only encourages weak management and X-inefficiency but also public ownership and state directed lending encourages moral hazard and bureaucratic rent seeking. This paper uses bootstrap non-parametric techniques to estimate measures of X-inefficiency and rent-s...

Each person has a valuation to each room, as well as a valuation to each of other people as a roommate. Each room has a rent shared by the two people living in the room, and we need to decide who live together in which room and how much each should pay. Various solution concept...

We find that, across OECD countries, there is a strong link between the rate of self employment and the intensity of both productand labor-market regulations. The sensitivity of the self-employment rate to regulation appears greater in terms of statistical significance and magnitude than the sensitivity of unemployment. We then develop a model of rent creation and division featuring product and...
