摘要：In this note, we study the envy-freeness and ordinal efficiency of the random serial dictatorship (RSD) rule on preference domains with a tier structure. Specifically, we obtain that the RSD rule is envy-free on restricted tier preference domains. For the ordinal efficiency axiom, we show that the almost-singleton condition is not sufficient for the RSD rule to be ordinally efficient. For assignment problems on the restricted tier preference domains, we characterize the condition under which the RSD rule is ordinally efficient.(c) 2023 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
