Abstract

The goal of the class is to introduce students to formal modeling in two-sided matching and suggest some interesting directions for future research. We will discuss decentralized matching markets (e.g., the marriage market), their stable matching properties and mechanisms to find this stable matching. Furthermore, We study the shortfall of these stable mechanisms. At the end, we study the matching markets that involve contracts between two sides at the time of the match.
