We study a sequential matching mechanism, an extensive form game of perfect information, to implement stable matchings in marriage problems. It is shown that the SPE (subgame perfect equilibrium) of this mechanism leads to the unique stable matching when the Eeckhout (Econ Lett 69:1–8, 2000) condition for the existence of a unique stable matching holds. This result does not extend to preferences that violate the Eeckhout condition, even if the matching problem has a unique stable matching. We then introduce a weaker condition, called theαMcondition, under which the SPE outcome of the men-move-first mechanism is the men-optimal stable matching. TheαMcondition is necessary and sufficient for the men-optimal stable matching to be Pareto optimal for men.
