Median stable matchings in two-sided markets
نویسندگان
چکیده
We show that generalized median stable matchings exist in many-to-many matching markets when contracts are strong substitutes and satisfy the law of aggregate demand.

Uncoordinated Two-Sided Markets∗
Various economic interactions can be modeled as two-sided markets. A central solution concept to these markets are stable matchings, introduced by Gale and Shapley. It is well known that stable matchings can be computed in polynomial time, but many real-life markets lack a central authority to match agents. In those markets, matchings are formed by actions of self-interested agents. Knuth intro...
متن کاملStable marriages and search frictions
Stable matchings are the primary solution concept for two-sided matching markets with nontransferable utility. We investigate the strategic foundations of stability in a decentralized matching market. Towards this end, we embed the standard marriage markets in a search model with random meetings. We study the limit of steady-state equilibria as exogenous frictions vanish. The main result is tha...
متن کاملSocial Networks and Stable Matchings in the Job Market
For most people, social contacts play an integral part in finding a new job. As observed by Granovetter’s seminal study, the proportion of jobs obtained through social contacts is usually large compared to those obtained through postings or agencies. At the same time, job markets are a natural example of two-sided matching markets. An important solution concept in such markets is that of stable...
متن کاملMedian Stable Matching for College Admissions
We give a simple and concise proof that so-called generalized median stable matchings are well-defined for college admissions problems. Furthermore, we discuss the fairness properties of median stable matchings and conclude with two illustrative examples of college admissions markets, the lattices of stable matchings, and the corresponding generalized median stable matchings. JEL classification...
متن کاملAnalysis of Stable Matchings in R: Package matchingMarkets
R package matchingMarkets implements structural estimators to correct for the sample selection bias from observed outcomes in matching markets. This includes one-sided matching of agents into groups as well as two-sided matching of students to schools. The package also contains algorithms to find stable matchings in the three most common matching problems: the stable roommates problem, the coll...
