We consider the problem of matching a set of medical students to a set of medical residency positions (hospitals) under …

paper, we introduce and formalize reciprocal preferences, apply them to matching markets, and analyze the implications for … acceptance mechanism can achieve stability. These results provide insights into non-standard preferences in matching markets, and …

This paper studies matching markets where institutions are matched with possibly more than one individual. The matching … matching may fail to exist even when both couples and institutions have responsive preferences. Next, we provide conditions on … couples' preferences that are necessary and sufficient to ensure a stable matching for every preference profile where …
