Equilibria under deferred acceptance: Dropping strategies, filled positions, and welfare

open access: yes, 2020
We study many-to-one matching markets where hospitals have responsive preferences over students. We study the game induced by the student-optimal stable matching mechanism. We assume that students play their weakly dominant strategy of truth-telling.Roth

Competitive Equilibria in Matching Models with Financial Constraints [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
We consider the one-to-one two-sided matching with contracts model in which buyers face financial constraints. In this model there is a stable outcome, but not necessarily a competitive equilibrium as defined in the standard way.

open access: yes, 2020
We propose a solution to the conflict between fairness and efficiency in one-sided matching markets. A matching is essentially stable if any priority-based claim initiates a chain of reassignments that results in the initial claimant losing the object ...

Equilibrios bajo el mecanismo de aceptación diferida: Estrategias de eliminación, posiciones ocupadas y bienestar

open access: yes, 2020
This paper studies many-to-one matching markets where each student is assigned to a hospital. Each hospital has possibly multiple positions and responsive preferences. We study the game induced by the student-optimal stable matching mechanism.

A Joint Test of Unconfoundedness and Common Trends

open access: yesJournal of Applied Econometrics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We introduce an overidentification test of two alternative assumptions to identify the average treatment effect on the treated in a two‐period panel data setting: unconfoundedness and common trends. Under unconfoundedness, treatment assignment and post‐treatment outcomes are independent, conditional on control variables and pre‐treatment ...
