Incentives in matching markets: counting and comparing manipulating agents
Theoretical Economics. 2023. Vol. 18. No. 3. P. 965–991.
Bonkoungou S., Alexander Nesterov
Manipulability is a threat to the successful design of centralized matching markets. However, in many applications some manipulation is inevitable and the designer wants to compare manipulable mechanisms. We count the number of agents with an incentive to manipulate and rank mechanisms by their level of manipulability. This ranking sheds a new light on practical design decisions such as the design of the entry-level medical labor market in the US, and school admissions systems in New York, Chicago, Denver and many cities in Ghana and in the UK.

Три с половиной года остаётся до 2030-го – окончания срока реализации Целей устойчивого развития (ЦУР) – главной международной инициативы, устанавливающей долгосрочные ориентиры для будущего человечества. Уже очевидно, что она провалилась: преодоление бедности, решение экологических проблем и построение инклюзивного и справедливого общества остались красивой мечтой. Кто-то может воспринимать ЦУР как памятник человеческой наивности. Но надо понимать, что эта ...

Cooperation between Russia and China in the field of education has expanded significantly.
In 2026, the number of Russian students studying in China reached 21,000. However, empirical
evidence shows that students face many difficulties adapting to the new environment. Given
the growing popularity of Chinese universities among Russian students, the present study
aimed to identify the factors and mechanisms ...

Background. Self-monitoring is critical for online learning, yet many students struggle due to cognitive load. Students with higher self-monitoring skills man- age this demand better, but which load types they handle effectively remains unknown. Metacognitive prompts are a common support tool, but it is unclear whether they amplify or compensate for skill differences.
Objective. To examine ...

This article examines the musealisation of industrial heritage and its role in regional and corporate branding. The relevance of this study stems from deindustrialisation processes, the growth of industrial tourism, and the need to preserve historical memory, which is particularly important in the context of Russian realities—the lack of a legal definition of the concept ...

На фоне развивающихся торгово-экономических отношений между Россией и Китаем российские десерт- ные бренды получают новые возможности для выхода на китайский рынок. Однако их присутствие ограничено преи- мущественно приграничными регионами, а продвижение сдерживается недостаточной адаптацией к социокультурным особенностям китайских потребителей. Статья посвящена разработке практических рекомендаций по формированию стратегии адаптации российских десертных брендов к специфике китайского рынка. ...

Green transitions are widely expected to attract cleaner capital and accelerate decarbonization; however, emerging-economy evidence increasingly challenges this assumption. This study examines the dynamic relationship between energy transition indicators and capital inflows in BRICS+ economies over the period 1996–2022, explicitly testing the “Green Haven” hypothesis under conditions of global uncertainty. Unlike much of the existing ...

This study conducted in Indonesia between 2000 and 2023, demonstrates a complex, non-linear interplay between the economic environment and the emergence of clean energy start-ups. Using Autoregressive Distributed Lag and Markov Switching models, the research shows that start-up formation coincides with periods of lower GDP growth, suggesting that innovation is often spurred by necessity. Two ...

Feedback often promotes student learning. Research has focused on delivering high-quality feedback, yet too little is known about how students respond to feedback, and whether and why it serves its intended purposes. This study is an investigation of how college students responded to feedback on their self-regulated learning (SRL). After taking an online assessment of ...

We examine board of directors’ gender diversity and corporate social responsibility (CSR) disclosure of Russian firms, and test for their effects on the market valuation of these firms. The Russian context is unique because gender disparity of boards and top management remains high in Russia due to historical legacy, absence of specific diversity-promoting regulations and ...

This work presents a simulation-based comparative analysis on the harm of manipulations in two widely used school choice mechanisms – the constrained Boston and Gale-Shapley mechanisms – through the perspective of the percentage of students getting into schools and the average welfare of students. Thus, this part of the research extends the manipulability analysis presented ...

Following the change in the Chicago school admission system, Pathak and Soenmez (2013) showed that the change was justified from the manipulability perspective – the Boston mechanism, indeed, remained more manipulable than the Gale-Shapley mechanism, when students were only allowed to submit constrained preference lists (the same constraint for both mechanisms). They worked under the ...

We study a series of reforms in school admissions mechanisms motivated, among
other reasons, by fairness concerns and vulnerability to manipulation. Before the reforms
as well as after, the mechanisms were vulnerable to preference manipulation and induced
blocking students: students who miss desired schools despite having higher priority or seats

The degree of individual manipulability of positional aggregation procedures is evaluated for the dynamic voting model within the framework of the two-dimensional Downsian model. In the dynamic voting model, alternatives move in steps toward a central point while agents attempt to manipulate at each step. The share of manipulable profiles, i.e., the Nitzan-Kelly index, is ...
