Coupon rationing with coupons that can be resold most closely approaches the market outcome because it allows for the transfer of the right to purchase goods among individuals. This transferability means that those who value the goods more highly can obtain more coupons by buying them from others, similar to how prices allocate goods in a market based on willingness and ability to pay.
