Relaxing the substitutes condition in matching markets with contracts

Author

Listed:
  • Flanagan, Francis X.

Abstract

In the many-to-one matching model with contracts, I provide new necessary and new sufficient conditions for the existence of a stable allocation. These new conditions exploit the fact that one side of the market has strict preferences over individual contracts.
