Concave many-to-one matching

Theoretical Economics 2023-09-11 v1

Abstract

We propose a notion of concavity in two-sided many-to-one matching, which is an analogue to the balancedness condition in cooperative games. A stable matching exists when the market is concave. We provide a class of concave markets. In the proof of the existence theorem, we use Scarf's algorithm to find a stable schedule matching, which is of independent interest.
