The Pareto-stability concept is a natural solution concept for discrete matching markets with indifferences
Sotomayor, Marilda - 2008
structure of a matching. This paper argues that, under indifferences, also weak blockings should be considered when these … the set of Pareto-stable matchings for the roommate and the marriage models is provided in terms of individually rational … of stable matchings. Some properties of the Pareto-stable matchings shared by the Marriage and Roommate models are …

Adjusting prices in the many-to-many assignment game
Sotomayor, Marilda - 2008
Starting with an initial price vector, prices are adjusted in order to eliminate the demand excess and at the same time to keep the transfers to the sellers as low as possible. In each step of the auction, to which sellers should those transfers be made (minimal overdemanded sets) is the key...

Double Implementation in a Market for Indivisible Goods with a Price Constraint
Azacis, Helmuts - 2005
I consider the problem of assigning agents to indivisible objects, in which each agent pays a price for his object and all prices sum to a given constant. The objective is to select an assignment-price pair that is envy-free with respect to the agents' true preferences. I propose a simple...

Decentralized Task Coordination
Gudmundsson, Jens; Hougaard, Jens Leth; Platz, Trine Tornøe - 2020
We study decentralized task coordination. Tasks are of varying complexity and agents asymmetric: agents capable of completing high-level tasks may also take on tasks originally contracted by lower-level agents, facilitating system-wide cost reductions. We suggest a family of decentralized...

Monotonicity and Nash implementation in matching markets with contracts
Haake, Claus-Jochen; Klaus, Bettina - 2005
We consider general two-sided matching markets, so-called matching with contracts markets as introduced by Hatfield and … Milgrom (2005), and analyze (Maskin) monotonic and Nash implementable solutions. We show that for matching with contracts …
