In this paper, we study marriage formation through a two-sided secretary problem approach. We consider individuals with … characteristics. We show that individuals with a higher universal characteristic tend to be more picky in their marriage hunting. This …

In this paper, we propose two new mechanisms operating in two-sided matching games. The first mechanism implements the …-empty subset of stable matchings such that the outcome set includes (wo)men-optimal stable matching, and there does not exist any … matching which is not a member of the set and better than some matching in the set in view of (wo)men. In addition, we present …

We study the implementability of stable correspondences in marriage markets with externalities. We prove that, contrary …
