On the integration of Shapley-Scarf markets

From MaRDI portal
Publication:2138378




Abstract: We study the welfare consequences of merging Shapley--Scarf markets. Market integration can lead to large welfare losses and make the vast majority of agents worse-off, but is on average welfare-enhancing and makes all agents better off ex-ante. The number of agents harmed by integration is a minority when all markets are small or agents' preferences are highly correlated.
