Improving Fairness in Nonwasteful Matching with Hierarchical Regional Minimum Quotas

چکیده
This paper considers matching problems with hierarchical regional minimum quotas. Although such quotas are relevant in many real-world settings, it is known that nonwastefulness and fairness (which compose stability) are incompatible when minimum quotas are imposed. We develop a new strategy-proof nonwasteful mechanism called Adaptive Deferred Acceptance with Regional minimum Quotas (ADARQ), which is fairer than an existing nonwasteful mechanism called Multi-Stage DA with Regional minimum Quotas (MSDA-RQ).

Strategy-proof matching with regional minimum quotas
This paper considers the matching problem with regional quotas, in particular, regional minimum quotas. Although such quotas are relevant in many real-world settings, there is a lack of strategy-proof mechanisms that consider regional minimum quotas. We first show that without any restrictions on the region structure, finding a feasible matching that satisfies all quotas is NP-complete. Then, a...
متن کاملEnvy-free Matchings with Lower Quotas
While every instance of the Hospitals/Residents problem admits a stable matching, the problem with lower quotas (HR-LQ) has instances with no stable matching. For such an instance, we expect the existence of an envy-free matching, which is a relaxation of a stable matching preserving a kind of fairness property. In this paper, we investigate the existence of an envy-free matching in several set...
متن کاملStrategy-proof mechanisms for two-sided matching with minimum and maximum quotas
We consider the problem of allocating objects to agents when the objects have minimum quotas. There exist many realworld settings where minimum quotas are relevant. For example, in a hospital-resident matching problem, unconstrained matching may produce too few assignments to a rural hospital. Surprisingly, almost 50 years have passed after the seminal work by Gale and Shapley, no existing mech...
متن کاملStrategyproof Matching with Minimum Quotas and Initial Endowments: (Extended Abstract)
Although minimum quotas are important in many real-world markets, existing strategyproof mechanisms require an unrealistic assumption that all students consider all schools acceptable (and vice-versa). We develop a strategyproof matching mechanism called Priority-List based Deferred Acceptance mechanism with Minimum Quotas (PLDA-MQ), which works under more realistic assumptions: (i) a student c...
متن کاملPareto Efficient Strategy-proof School Choice Mechanism with Minimum Quotas and Initial Endowments
This paper develops a strategy-proof and Pareto efficient mechanism for a school choice program called Top Trading Cycles among Representatives with Supplementary Seats (TTCR-SS). We consider a setting where minimum quotas are imposed for each school, i.e., a school is required to be assigned at least a certain number of students to operate, and the obtained matching must respect initial endowm...
