摘要:
This paper studies the housing market problem introduced by Shapley and Scarf (1974). We refine some existing characterizations of the well-known top trading cycles (TTC) rule by relaxing strategy-proofness and efficiency. Specifically, our main result shows that a rule is equivalent to the TTC rule if and only if it satisfies either of the following two sets of axioms: (1) individual rationality, pair-efficiency, and upper invariance; and (2) individual rationality, endowments-swapping-proofness, and upper invariance. Additionally, we clarify the logical relationships among a set of axioms that are weaker than strategy-proofness. New characterizations of the TTC rule are obtained as direct consequences of our main theorems.
