It is well known that a stable matching in a many-to-one matching market with couples need not exist. We introduce a … new matching algorithm for such markets and show that for a general class of large random markets the algorithm will nd a … stable matching with high probability. In particular we allow the number of couples to grow at a near-linear rate …

We know from Gale and Shapley (1962) that every Two-Sided Matching Game has a stable solution. It is also well …

. Comparing the predicted and observed matching patterns, we find that the Gale-Shapley model explains the matches achieved by the … explore whether the estimated mate preferences, in conjunction with the Gale-Shapley algorithm, can explain the matching …

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 investigate the role of marital patterns in explaining rising income inequality using a structural marriage matching …

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 …
