Matching Mechanisms for Refugee Resettlement
提出四种难民安置匹配机制，考虑难民家庭规模和社区容量，通过理论分析和模拟表明基于偏好的匹配能提高效率、尊重社区优先权并激励难民真实报告偏好。
Current refugee resettlement processes account for neither the preferences of refugees nor the priorities of hosting communities. We introduce a new framework for matching with multidimensional knapsack constraints that captures the (possibly multidimensional) sizes of refugee families and the capacities of communities. We propose four refugee resettlement mechanisms and two solution concepts that can be used in refugee resettlement matching under various institutional and informational constraints. Our theoretical results and simulations using refugee resettlement data suggest that preference-based matching mechanisms can improve match efficiency, respect priorities of communities, and incentivize refugees to report where they would prefer to settle.
