Orhan Aygün et al., « The Over-and-Above Implementation of Reserve Policy in India », arXiv - économie
The over-and-above choice rule is the prominent selection procedure to implement affirmative action. In India, it is legally mandated to allocate public school seats and government job positions. This paper presents an axiomatic characterization of the over-and-above choice rule by rigorously stating policy goals as formal axioms. Moreover, we characterize the deferred acceptance mechanism coupled with the over-and-above choice rules for centralized marketplaces.
