We run laboratory experiments where subjects are matched to colleges, and colleges are not strategic agents. We test … the Gale-Shapley Deferred Acceptance (DA) mechanism versus the Iterative Deferred Acceptance Mechanism (IDAM), a matching … robustness of stability between the rounds of experiments. Our findings provide substantial support for the rising practice of …

observed outcomes are stable, and among those a large majority culminate at the receiver-optimal stable matching. Second …

existence of equilibrium. 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 use the theory of abstract convexity to study adverse-selection principal-agent problems and two-sided matching … for stable outcomes featuring positive assortative matching in a matching model. …

We develop a theory of stability in many-to-many matching markets. We give conditions under which the setwise …
