I introduce \emph{matching problems with complex constraints} and the … notion of \emph{procedural stability}. Two simple assumptions guarantee existence of a student optimal procedurally stable …

fixed number of schools to be acceptable. We focus on the stability and efficiency of the Nash equilibrium outcomes. Our … main results identify rather stringent necessary and sufficient conditions on the priorities to guarantee stability or …

In this note we study the National Resident Matching Program (NRMP) algorithm in the US market for physicians. We …. Roth and Peranson, 1999). First, we show that the new NRMP algorithm may not find an existing stable matching, even when …

We study two-sided matching markets with couples and show that for a natural preference domain for couples, the domain …. Starting from an arbitrary matching, we construct a path of matchings obtained from 'satisfying' blocking coalitions that … yields a stable matching. Hence, we establish a generalization of Roth and Vande Vate's (1990) result on path convergence to …

This survey deals with two-sided matching markets where one set of agents (workers/residents) has to be matched with … recent contributions to a complex and representative case of matching with complementarities, namely matching markets with …
