The past few years have seen a surge of work on fairness in allocation problems where items must be fairly divided among agents having individual preferences. In comparison, fairness in settings with preferences on both sides, that is, where agents have to be matched to other agents, has received much less attention. Moreover, two-sided matching literature has largely focused on ordinal preferences. This paper initiates the study of fairness in stable many-to-one matchings under cardinal…

On Achieving Fairness and Stability in Many-to-One Matchings
• Economics, Computer Science
ArXiv
• 2020
This work is the first to address the problem of finding a leximin optimally fair and stable matching and shows that finding such a matching is NP-Hard, even under isometric utilities.
Toward Fair Recommendation in Two-sided Platforms
ACM Transactions on the Web
• 2022
This work proposes a modification of FairRec (named as FairRecPlus) that at the cost of additional computation time, improves the recommendation performance for the customers, while maintaining the same fairness guarantees.

This work provides theoretical guarantees on the fairness attainable via this type of uniform lottery, as compared to the existing maximally fair but opaque algorithms, for two different fairness objectives.
Sublinear Approximation Algorithm for Nash Social Welfare with XOS Valuations
• Economics, Computer Science
ArXiv
• 2021
This work breaks the O(n)approximation barrier for NSW maximization under XOS valuations by developing a novel connection between NSW and social welfare under a capped version of the agents’ valuations.
Fair algorithms for selecting citizens’ assemblies
• Computer Science
Nature
• 2021
This work establishes citizens' assemblies as a domain in which insights from the field of fair division can lead to high-impact applications, and develops selection algorithms that satisfy the two desiderata simultaneously to the greatest possible extent.
Two-Sided Matching Meets Fair Division
• Economics, Computer Science
IJCAI
• 2021
It is shown that (a slight strengthening of) DEF1 cannot always be achieved, but in the special case where both sides have identical preferences, the round-robin algorithm with a carefully designed agent ordering achieves it.
Almost Envy-free Repeated Matching in Two-sided Markets
• Economics
WINE
• 2020
This work proposes and analyzes a repeated matching problem, where some set of matches occur on each time step, and proposes and analyze a polynomial-time algorithm for additive, symmetric, and binary valuations that guarantees envy-freeness up to a single match.
The Fairness of Leximin in Allocation of Indivisible Chores
• Economics
ArXiv
• 2020
It is demonstrated that the leximin solution can be modified to also provide compelling fairness guarantees for the allocation of indivisible chores and is proved to be EFX for combinations of goods and chores for agents with general but identical valuations.
Uniform Welfare Guarantees Under Identical Subadditive Valuations
• Economics
IJCAI
• 2020
It is established that, under identical subadditive valuations and in the demand oracle model, one can efficiently find a single allocation that approximates the optimal generalized-mean welfare to within a factor of $40$---uniformly for all $p \in (-infty, 1]$.
A Study of Incentive Compatibility and Stability Issues in Fractional Matchings
• Economics
AAMAS
• 2020
This paper reports the first investigation into the important but unexplored topic of incentive compatibility of matching mechanisms to find stable fractional matchings, focusing on matching instances under strict preferences.
