Market design for non-profit applications
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- This dissertation is a collection of three essays, each studying a market design setting where the exchange of money is not allowed. There are many real world markets where the exchange of money is considered either legally or ethically unacceptable, such the allocation of school seats, donor organs, or subsidized housing. For these kinds of markets, the market designer must use other strategies to influence the behavior of the participants and affect the outcomes of the market. Each of the three chapters analyzes how the rules of a given kind of market will affect the welfare of the participants along dimensions such as efficiency, fairness and diversity. Chapters one and two study theoretical models, the first is a model of one-sided assignment where a set of items is being allocated to a set of participants, and the second is a model of two-sided matching where doctors and hospitals first interview to learn more about their preferences before being matched. Chapter three describes an applied project where we leveraged the theoretical and empirical literature on school choice to help redesign the student assignment policy in the San Francisco Unified School district (SFUSD).
