Abstract: The paper characterizes the core of many-to-one matching problem with quotas. The many-to-one matching problem with quotas may have an empty core, and there is no clear set of necessary and sufficient conditions that guarantee non-emptiness of the core. Usual sufficient conditions for non-emptiness of the core for matching problems cannot be applied for the problem with quotas. We introduce set strong substitutability of preferences, a refinement of strong substitutability for the problem with quotas. We show that if preferences are set strongly substitutable, then the core of many-to-one matching problem with quotas is non-empty. Moreover, we prove that in this case the core has a lattice structure with opposition of interests. Length: 16
