Complementarities in childcare allocation under priorities
We investigate the allocation of children to childcare facilities and propose solutions to overcome limitations in the current allocation mechanism. We introduce a natural preference domain and a priority structure that address these setbacks, aiming to enhance the allocation process. To achieve this, we present an adaptation of the Deferred Acceptance mechanism to our problem, which ensures strategy-proofness within our preference domain and yields the student-optimal stable matching. Finally, we provide a maximal domain for the existence of stable matchings using the properties that define our natural preference domain. Our results have practical implications for allocating indivisible bundles with complementarities.

Respecting priorities versus respecting preferences in school choice: When is there a trade-off?
A classic trade-off that school districts face when deciding which matching algorithm to use is that it is not possible to always respect both priorities and preferences. The student-proposing deferred acceptance algorit…
Equity Pay In Networked Teams
A group of agents each exert effort to produce a joint output, with the complementarities between their efforts represented by a (weighted) network. Under equity compensation, a principal motivates the agents to work by …
The Vigilant Eating Rule: A General Approach for Probabilistic Economic Design with Constraints
We consider the problem of probabilistic allocation of objects under ordinal preferences. We devise an allocation mechanism, called the vigilant eating rule (VER), that applies to nearly arbitrary feasibility constraints…
Child Care, Time Allocation, and the Life Cycle
This study explores the impact of gender differences in preferences and productivity in home production on the time allocation in married couples, particularly in relation to childcare responsibilities. Using aggregated …
Telogenesis: Goal Is All U Need
Goal-conditioned systems assume goals are provided externally. We ask whether attentional priorities can emerge endogenously from an agent's internal cognitive state. We propose a priority function that generates observa…
