Extend the model of the jungle to the case in which the number of houses is smaller than the number of agents. In this case, an allocation is a function from the set of agents to the set HU {homeless} with the property that no two agents are assigned to the same house. Each agent has a preference ordering over H U {homeless}. Assume that this ordering is strict; assume also that every agent prefers to be allocated any house than to be homeless. Define an equilibrium for this extended model and show that it always exists.
