Abstract
We extend the standard school choice problem by allowing schools’ priority orders to depend on the rankings submitted by students. In this setting, the student-proposing deferred acceptance algorithm using such modified priorities is no longer strategy-proof, and moreover stability and strategy-proofness are incompatible.
期刊介绍:
Many economists today are concerned by the proliferation of journals and the concomitant labyrinth of research to be conquered in order to reach the specific information they require. To combat this tendency, Economics Letters has been conceived and designed outside the realm of the traditional economics journal. As a Letters Journal, it consists of concise communications (letters) that provide a means of rapid and efficient dissemination of new results, models and methods in all fields of economic research.
