We study a special three-sided matching game, the so-called supplier-firm-buyer game, in which buyers (customers) and …-firm-buyer games have non-empty core. We show that for these games the core coincides with the classical bargaining set (Davis and …

the average rankings of the other types of groups. We show that a core stable coalition structure always exists, provided …

We develop a theory of stability in many-to-many matching markets. We give conditions under which the setwise …-stable set, a core-like concept, is nonempty and can be approached through an algorithm. The usual core may be empty. The setwise … parallels the standard theory of stability for many-to-one, and one-to-one, models. We provide results for a number of core …
