Motivated by historically low retention rates of graduates at USMA and ROTC, the Army recently introduced branch-for-service incentives programs where cadets could bid an additional three years of active duty service obligation to obtain higher priority for their desired career specialties. The...

We present an application where, in a matching market, Preferences of one side of the market evolve all along the process of the sequential version of the deferred acceptance (DA) algorithm, producing an agenda-dependent and stable outcome. We also provide an example where agents stable matching...

Ostrovsky [10] develops a theory of stability for a model of matching in exogenously given networks. For this model a generalization of pairwise stability, chain stability, can always be satisfied as long as agents’ preferences satisfy same side substitutability and cross side complementarity....
