• Prop. 8. If g imperfectly dominates f, then hβ(f,g) imperfectly dominates f. ... and yield a hierarchy of manipulability and efficiency. • Prop. 9./10. Given f SP, g manipulable and weakly less varying than f, g imperfectly dominates f, 0≤β<β‘≤1, then 1. hβ‘(f,g) is intensely and strongly more manipulable than hβ(f,g) 2. hβ‘(f,g) imperfectly dominates hβ(f,g). ... which preserve PSP, are comp...

Continuum models are often used to study large finite assignment economies. We show that in the canonical assignment problem without transfers, the continuum model can have very different qualitative properties than large finite markets. The problem is driven by the failure of local non-satiation inherent in no-transfer assignment.

In this paper we prove a very general theorem and establish related results about the existence of robust multivalued solutions for assignment problems. Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad-380 015 India and ERSA University of the Witwatersrand

We establish the soundness of the replica symmetric ansatz introduced by M. Mézard and G. Parisi for the minimum matching problem in the pseudo-dimension d mean field model for d ≥ 1. The case d = 1 corresponds to the π2/6-limit for the assignment problem proved by D. Aldous in 2001. We introduce a game-theoretical framework by which we establish the analogous limit also for d > 1.

This bulletin presents findings from the Pathways to Desistance study about the effects of transfer from juvenile court to adult court on a sample of serious adolescent offenders in Maricopa County, AZ. The authors compare the extant literature with findings from the Pathways study and discuss the possible implications of these findings for future changes in transfer statutes. Following are som...
