On a conjecture by Gale about one-sided matching problems

From MaRDI portal
Publication:2277345





Matching problems are decision problems involving the assignment of n objects to n agents. A mechanism is a rule for making such matching and matchings are allowed to be a probability distribution over pure matchings. This paper shows that for \(n\geq 3\), there exists no mechanism which satisfies symmetry, Pareto optimality and strategy-proofness. Some extensions of this result to more general matching problems are also considered.
