MATCHING WITH COUPLES: A MULTIDISCIPLINARY SURVEY

Péter Biró and Flip Klijn

International Game Theory Review (IGTR), 2013, vol. 15, issue 02, 1-18

Abstract: This survey deals with two-sided matching markets where one set of agents (workers/residents) has to be matched with another set of agents (firms/hospitals). We first give a short overview of a selection of classical results. Then, we review recent contributions to a complex and representative case of matching with complementarities, namely matching markets with couples. We discuss contributions from computer scientists, economists, and game theorists.
