| Research Abstract |
As for school choice mechanism, theoretical analysis and laboratory experiments were conducted. First of all, consequence of affirmative action policy that gives quota for minority students was theoretically investigated, and its prediction was examined in the laboratory. Second, school choice mechanism adopted in Tokyo was investigated, and then experimental comparisons with other mechanisms adopted in the United States were done. In both experiments, though matching outcome of each mechanism generally consistent with theoretical predictions, non-ignorable number of students misrepresented their true preferences over schools. As a consequence, it was observed that in realized matching, there were a lot of students who had envy for other students. These results were presented at several international conferences, and now submission to academic journal is preparing.
