Randomized Scheduling Mechanisms: Assigning Course Seats in a Fair and Efficient Way

Abstract: C ourse assignment is a very widespread problem in education and beyond. Typically, students have preferences for bundles of course seats or course schedules over the week, but courses have limited capacity. This is an interesting and frequent application of distributed scheduling, where payments cannot be used to implement the efficient allocation. First-Come First-Served (FCFS) is simple and the most widely used assignment rule in practice, but it leads to inefficient outcomes and envy in the allocation. It … Show more

“…Field experiments have become a popular tool for studies focusing on service operations to causally evaluate the effect of a policy on performance outcomes, such as consumer outcomes (Buell et al, 2017;Jung et al, 2021;Retana et al, 2016;Zhang et al, 2017), efficiency (Bichler & Merting, 2021;Bray et al, 2016), and fairness (Cui et al, 2020), and so forth.…”

“…The remaining 10 studies investigate how various factors affect performance outcome (sales and revenue) in the context of offline retailers (Abbey, Meloy, et al, 2015; Buell & Kalkanci, 2021; Chuang et al, 2016; Ding et al, 2021; Gallien et al, 2015; Gaur & Fisher, 2005) and online retail management (Cui, Zhang, & Bassamboo, 2019; Feldman et al, 2022; Gallino & Moreno, 2018; Zhang et al, 2019). In service operations, researchers have utilized field experiments to causally evaluate the effect of policy changes on performance outcomes, such as consumer outcomes (Buell et al, 2017; Jung et al, 2021; Lu et al, 2021; Retana et al, 2016; Zhang et al, 2017), auction outcomes (Abhishek & Hosanagar, 2013; Haruvy et al, 2014), scheduling efficiency (Bichler & Merting, 2021; Bray et al, 2016), ride‐sharing (Cohen et al, 2021; Mejia & Parker, 2021), and fairness (Cui et al, 2020). OM researchers have also focused on ways to improve various health care outcomes, such as physician performance (Tucker & Singer, 2015), quality and efficiency of care (Kistler et al, 2021; Queenan et al, 2019).…”
