Abstract

In school choice, priority-based affirmative action favors minority students by means of promoting their priority ranking at schools. This paper investigates the responsiveness of the top trading cycles mechanism to priority-based affirmative action when schools’ priority structure satisfies a certain acyclicity condition. When schools’ priority under the problem without affirmative action satisfies virtual homogeneity condition, a weak responsiveness result is obtained.
