      Contract Design and Stability in Many-to-Many Matching

      By: John William Hatfield and Scott Duke Kominers
      We develop a model of many-to-many matching with contracts that subsumes as special cases many-to-many matching markets and buyer/seller markets with heterogeneous and indivisible goods. In our setting, substitutable preferences are sufficient to guarantee the... View Details
