Abstract. This paper analyzes matching markets where agent types are n-vectors of characteristics--i.e. points in R …). First, given a few assumptions, I show that in the Gale-Shapley stable matching in this environment, agents match to a … consumers. Finally, I address an unanswered question in the matching literature--can multidimensional preferences be aggregated …

The Boston mechanism is a popular student-placement mechanism in school-choice programs around the world. We provide two characterizations of the Boston mechanism. We introduce two new axioms; favoring higher ranks and rank-respecting invariance. A mechanism is the Boston mechanism for some...
