  Article: MQITE WORKING PAPER SERIES WP # 11-03 Competition for Procurement Shares

  José Alcalde, Matthias Dahm
  [show abstract] [hide abstract]
  ABSTRACT: We propose a new procurement procedure which allocates shares of the total amount to be procured depending on the bids of suppliers. Among the properties of the mechanism are: (i) Bidders have an incentive to par-ticipate in the procurement procedure, as equilibrium payoffs are strictly positive. (ii) The mechanism allows to vary the extent to which affirma-tive action objectives, like promoting local industries, are pursued. (iii) Surprisingly, even accomplishing affirmative action goals, procurement ex-penditures might be lower than under a classical auction format.

  Article: Merging and Going Bankrupt: A Neutral Solution

  José Alcalde, Maria Del Carmen Marco-Gil, José Silva Reus
  [show abstract] [hide abstract]
  ABSTRACT: As it is known, there is no rule satisfying Additivity in the complete domain of bankruptcy problems. This paper proposes a notion of partial Additivity in this context, to be called m-additivity. We find that m-additivity, together with two quite compelling axioms, anonymity and continuity, identify the Minimal Overlap rule, introduced by Neill (1982).

  Article: Fair School Placement

  José Alcalde, Antonio Romero-Medina
  [show abstract] [hide abstract]
  ABSTRACT: This paper introduces τ-fairness as a compromise solution reconciling Pareto efficiency and equity in School Choice Problems. We show that, by considering a weak notion of equity that we refer to as λ-equity, it is possible to contribute positively to solve an open debate, originated by the efficiency-equity trade-off of the schooling problem. We also suggest a slight modification to some allocative procedures recently introduced in the United States to compute τ-fair allocations and provide support for this (possible) reformulation.
