Computational complexity of necessary envy-freeness Haris Aziz, Ildikó Schlotter, Toby Walsh   Highlights Envy-free allocation of indivisible items to a few agents is computationally hard. Finding a necessarily envy-free allocation is NP-hard already for 3 agents. For any n ≥ 3 , finding a necessarily envy-free allocation for agents is NP-hard. Abstract We consider the fundamental […]

Where can childcare expansion increase maternal labor supply? A comparison of quasi-experimental estimates from seven countries Ágnes Szabó-Morvai, Anna Lovász Abstract The estimated effect of childcare availability on maternal labor supply varies highly in previous single-country estimates. We provide comparable quasi-experimental estimates of the childcare effect for seven countries, using harmonized data and a uniform […]
