Schlegel, J. C. ORCID: 0000-0002-8385-8349 & Mamageishvili, A. (2020). Welfare theorems for random assignments with priorities. Games and Economic Behavior, 124, pp. 62-81. doi: 10.1016/j.geb.2020.08.009

Abstract

We introduce new notions of priority-constrained efficiency and provide priority-constrained versions of the ordinal efficiency welfare theorem for school choice lotteries. Moreover, we show that a priority-constrained version of a cardinal second welfare theorem fails to hold, but can be restored for a relaxed notion of equilibrium with priority-specific prices.
