Corrigendum: Stable Matchings and Preferences of Couples

Klaus, Bettina; Klijn, Flip; Nakamura, Toshifumi - Departament d'Economia i Història Econòmica, … - 2007

We correct an omission in the definition of the domain of weakly responsive preferences introduced in Klaus and Klijn (2005) or KK05 for short. The proof of the existence of stable matchings (KK05, Theorem 3.3) and a maximal domain result (KK05, Theorem 3.5) are adjusted accordingly.

Corrigendum: Stable Matchings and Preferences of Couples

Paths to Stability for Matching Markets with Couples

Klaus, Bettina; Klijn, Flip - Departament d'Economia i Història Econòmica, … - 2004

We study two-sided matching markets with couples and show that for a natural preference domain for couples, the domain …. Starting from an arbitrary matching, we construct a path of matchings obtained from `satisfying' blocking coalitions that … yields a stable matching. Hence, we establish a generalization of Roth and Vande Vate's (1990) result on path convergence to …

A Note on the Impossibility of a Satisfactory Concept of Stability for Coalition Formation Games

Barberà, Salvador; Gerber, Anke - Departament d'Economia i Història Econòmica, … - 2005

In this note we show that no solution to coalition formation games can satisfy a set of axioms that we propose as reasonable. Our result points out that "solutions" to the coalition formation cannot be interpreted as predictions of what would be ìresting pointsî for a game in the way stable...
