A Cost-Minimizing Algorithm for School Choice
arXiv:1010.2312
Abstract
The school choice problem concerns the design and implementation of matching mechanisms that produce school assignments for students within a given public school district. In this note we define a simple student-optimal criterion that is not met by any previously employed mechanism in the school choice literature. We then use this criterion to adapt a well-known combinatorial optimization technique (Hungarian algorithm) to the school choice problem.
