Alums and friends of the program are always welcome. \nDid you Miss It?\nDon’t worry\, Watch it Now!\nPasscode: p@*ZEr4U  \nTitle and Abstract\nWho Gets the Bonus?  High School Admission Reforms in China \nChina implements reforms to improve access to quality high school education for students from underperforming middle schools by awarding bonus points to a select group of students. Our study reveals significant flaws in practice due to challenges in determining how bonuses should be distributed. We propose a choice rule that “endogenously’’ identifies bonus-recipients and show that it is the unique acceptant and fair choice rule that efficiently assigns the bonus. Embedded in the deferred acceptance (DA) mechanism\, it ensures stability\, strategy-proofness\, and constrained optimality among the mechanisms assigning bonuses efficiently and fairly. Empirical analysis shows that our proposal significantly improves representation for underperforming schools and effectively assigns the bonus to the “right’’ students. \nBiographies\nUmut Dur is a Truist Distinguished Professor of Economics and an Operations Research Graduate Program faculty member at NC State University. He is a University Faculty Scholar and an Academy of Outstanding Teachers member.  His research is on market design\, focusing on school choice\, college admissions\, and affirmative action policies.
