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

匹配理论在机制设计中的应用最近为现实生活中的资源分配制度带来了重大改进。但这些应用大多基于特定的匹配模型。为了扩大匹配机制的适用范围，本文借助计算机仿真的方法，对几类在实际应用中尚未得到充分考虑的匹配模型进行了分析。我们得到了一些理论结果，其中一个结果使得匹配机制中偏好真实揭示的某些前置条件更加灵活。

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.
