Economic Theory Seminar Series: Integrating School Districts: Diversity, Balance and Welfare
25 October 2017 11:00am–12:00pm
Isa Hafalir | University of Technology Sydney
Despite significant efforts, segregation in the US public schools still persists. It mainly occurs between, but not within, school districts. To overcome this problem, interdistrict admissions have been introduced, and many school districts have been integrated in a handful of states. We study district integration from a market-design perspective. For each desired policy, we provide admission rules and algorithms so that the policy goal is established. We provide a novel framework that opens avenues for market-design research.
