A modified deferred acceptance algorithm for conditionally lexicographic-substitutable preferences

Journal of Mathematical Economics, 2021, vol. 94, issue C

Abstract: We study a class of preferences that generalize substitutable ones and allows complementarities in a college admissions model. We show that a stable matching exists under this class of preferences by using an algorithm which we call the Conditional Deferred Acceptance Algorithm. Furthermore, we show that the algorithm is strategy-proof for the student side if we assume in addition a law of aggregate demand adapted to our setting.
