Social Choice and Market Design

The Social Choice and Market Design group develops theoretical foundations and analytical models for collective decision-making and resource allocation. We utilize techniques from economics, operations research, and computer science to design systems and algorithms aimed at efficiency and fairness.

Some key research areas are:

Fair Division

We investigate division algorithms for fairly allocating goods and divisible resources based on individual preferences. We analyze equitability concepts like envy-freeness, proportionality, and general claims guidelines.

School Choice

We evaluate assignment algorithms for public school admissions using priorities, quotas, and reservations to enhance equality of opportunity.
