On the Equivalence of Two Competing Affirmative Actions in School Choice

Theoretical Economics 2022-03-14 v3

Abstract

This note analyzes the outcome equivalence conditions of two popular affirmative action policies, majority quota and minority reserve, under the student optimal stable mechanism. These two affirmative actions generate an identical matching outcome, if the market either is effectively competitive or contains a sufficiently large number of schools.
