Beschreibung

We provide an original analysis of historical documents to describe the assignment procedures used to allocate entry-level civil service jobs in China from the tenth to the early twentieth century. The procedures tried to take different objectives into account through trial and error. We compare their effectiveness in minimizing unfilled jobs and prioritizing high-level posts. We show that changes made to improve the outcome could have the opposite effect. Based on a small modification of the last procedure used, we provide a new mechanism for producing maximum matchings under constraints in a transparent and public way.

A talk by Li Chen from the University of Gothenburg.
