Matching Markets with Chores
Abstract
The fair division of chores, as well as mixed manna (goods and chores), has received substantial recent attention in the fair division literature; however, ours is the first paper to extend this research to matching markets. Indeed, our contention is that matching markets are a natural setting for this purpose, since the manna that fit into the limited number of hours available in a day can be viewed as one unit of allocation. We extend several well-known results that hold for goods to the settings of chores and mixed manna. In addition, we show that the natural notion of an earnings-based equilibrium, which is more natural in the case of all chores, is equivalent to the pricing-based equilibrium given by Hylland and Zeckhauser for the case of goods.
