A New Direction in Market Design: Studies on Non-two-sided Matchings

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

Applications of matching theory to mechanism design have recently brought significant improvements to real-life institutions for resource allocation. But these applications are mostly based on a specific class of matching models. Aiming at expanding the applicability of matching mechanisms, our research analyzed, with the aid of computer simulation, some classes of matching models which had not been much considered in application. We have obtained some theoretical results; one of our results has made more flexible certain preceding conditions for truthful revelation of preferences in matching mechanisms.
