本文通过简化模型和实验室实验表明,在学校选择中提前披露抽签信息可减少不确定性,帮助学生做出更明智的决策。
摘要:
抽签常被用于学校选择以公平解决优先权争议;然而,当前做法通常在提交偏好清单时不让学生了解抽签结果。本文主张在学生之前披露抽签信息。当偏好清单长度受限,这是现实系统中的常见特征,此类披露减少不确定性,使学生能够做出更明智的决策。我们通过两个简化模型展示了披露抽签信息的好处。理论预测得到了实验室实验的支持。
英文摘要:
Lotteries are commonly employed in school choice to fairly resolve priority ties; however, current practices typically keep students uninformed about their lottery outcomes at the time of preference submission. This paper advocates for revealing lottery information to students beforehand. When preference lists are constrained in length, which is a common feature in real-world systems, such disclosure reduces uncertainty and enables students to make more informed decisions. We demonstrate the benefits of lottery revelation through two stylized models. Theoretical predictions are supported by laboratory experiments.
