This paper considers exchange of indivisible objects when agents are endowed with and desire bundles of objects. Agents are assumed to have lexicographic preferences over bundles. We show that the generalized Top Trading Cycles rule (TTC) is characterized by Pareto efficiency, balancedness, the weak endowment lower bound, and truncation-proofness (or drop strategy-proofness). In the classic Shapley-Scarf model, TTC is characterized by Pareto efficiency, individual rationality, and truncation-proofness. The proof is nonstandard and its novelty has independent methodological interest.
