Summary: This paper uses a coalitional game to model the market-based matching resulting from the negotiation mechanism of supply chain contracting in a completely informed multi-agent market that satisfies the condition of individual rationality (IR). Hence the most inefficient and the ex post efficient allocation patterns of market-based matching are identified. Further the Pareto efficient market-based matching that extracts the maximum overall market efficiency is found to be coincidental with the core of the game that exists. Identifying the distinction between the notions of ex post efficiency and Pareto efficiency in this setting, the dynamics of Pareto improvements of allocation patterns is analysed.
