Approximate Strategyproofness in Large, Two-Sided Matching Markets

Multiagent Systems 2022-11-30 v2

Abstract

An approximation of strategyproofness in large, two-sided matching markets is highly evident. Through simulations, one can observe that the percentage of agents with useful deviations decreases as the market size grows. Furthermore, there seems to be a strong connection between the length of preference order lists, the correlation of agent preferences, and the approximation of strategyproofness. Interestingly, approximate strategyproofness is reached easier with a shorter length of preference orders and higher preference correlation. These findings justify the use of the deferred acceptance algorithm in large two-sided matching markets despite it not being strategy-proof.
