Abstract
We provide the first characterization of the prominent top-trading-cycles (TTC) mechanism in the Shapley–Scarf housing market model (Shapley and Scarf, 1974) that uses respecting-improvement. Specifically, we show that for strict preferences, the TTC mechanism is the unique mechanism satisfying pair-efficiency, respecting-improvement, and strategy-proofness.
