Students might shy away from their preferred schools because they mistakenly believe they are oversubscribed, leading to a misallocation of heavily sought-after seats. How to solve this? Deferred Acceptance.

Ten years after its inception, our paper on the performance of school assignment mechanisms is published in @JPolEcon. We use a unique combination of register and survey data from Amsterdam to compare allocations under Deferred Acceptance (DA) and adaptive Boston.[1/9]
