摘要

在给定代理类型分配的初始匹配和政策目标的情况下，研究了一种弱改进分配目标并满足约束效率、个体理性和策略证明的机制的存在性。一般来说，这种机制并不需要存在。我们引入了离散凹性的一个新概念，我们称之为伪M - h -凹性，并构造了一个当分布目标满足该概念时具有理想性质的机制。我们提供了几个实际相关的分布目标，这些目标是伪M - h -凹。

Market design with distributional objectives: Efficiency, incentives, and property rights

Given an initial matching and a policy objective on the distribution of agent types to institutions, we study the existence of a mechanism that weakly improves the distributional objective and satisfies constrained efficiency, individual rationality, and strategy-proofness. Such a mechanism need not exist in general. We introduce a new notion of discrete concavity, which we call pseudo M^♮-concavity, and construct a mechanism with the desirable properties when the distributional objective satisfies this notion. We provide several practically relevant distributional objectives that are pseudo M^♮-concave.
