We then apply the solution concept to a matching-based Cournot model in which the unit production cost … technology and human capital are complementary, the positive assortative matching (PAM) is a stable matching under rational … marginal effects of technology and human capital, the PAM is still a rational stable matching. However, if the substitutive …

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 …

-sided matching markets through a dynamic mechanism. We first show that CCs provide a complete characterization of singleton cores in … two-sided matching markets. Secondly, we prove the existence of a bijection between the CCs structures and the lattice …

I study a central authority's ability to commit to a publicly announced mechanism in a one-to-one agent-object matching … model. The authority announces a strategy-proof mechanism and then privately selects a mechanism to initiate a matching. An … agent's observation in form of the final matching has an innocent explanation (Akbarpour and Li, 2020), if given the agent …
