Measures of allocation optimality differ significantly when distributing standard tradable goods in peaceful times and scarce resources in crises. While realistic markets offer asymptotic efficiency, they may not necessarily guarantee fair allocation desirable when distributing the critical resources. To achieve fairness, mechanisms often rely on a central authority, which may act inefficiently in times of need when swiftness and good organization are crucial. In this work, we study a hybrid trading system called Crisdis, introduced by Jedličková et al., which combines fair allocation of buying rights with a market -leveraging the best of both worlds. A frustration of a buyer in Crisdis is defined as a difference between the amount of goods they are entitled to according to the assigned buying rights and the amount of goods they are able to acquire by trading. We define a Price of Anarchy (PoA) in this system as a conceptual analogue of the original definition in the context of frustration. Our main contribution is a study of PoA in realistic complex double-sided market mechanisms for Crisdis. The performed empirical analysis suggests that in contrast to market free of governmental interventions, the PoA in our system decreases.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
