In matching markets the number of blocking pairs is often used as a criterion to compare matchings. We argue that this … changes, nor will it capture the satisfaction of the players with the matching. As an alternative, we set up two principles … objection against the given matching according to a bargaining set characterization of the set of stable matchings. We prove …

unique outcome, the worker-optimal matching. …

It is known that in two-sided many-to-many matching markets, pair-wise stability is not logically related with the … (weak) core, unlike in many-to-one matching markets (Blair, 1988). In this paper, we seek a theoretical foundation for …-partner matching problem that includes two-sided matching problems as special cases. Under the same preference restriction, we also …

present instead a computational approach that requires minimal and easily automated data cleaning, learns appropriate record-matching …
