显示与合同匹配的首选项

Revealed Preferences for Matching with Contracts

Daniel Lehmann

摘要:

多对多的匹配与合同研究的框架下显示的偏好。所有偏好都由满足自然条件的选择函数来描述。在无外部性假设下,个人偏好可以聚合成一个单一的选择函数,表达集体偏好。在这个框架中,双边匹配问题可以被描述为双方之间的一致性问题:双方必须找到稳定的一致性,即,一组合同,任何一方都不想从其中拿走任何合同,双方也不能同意增加任何合同。在这种稳定的协议中,双方的偏好关系是偏序的,并且双方的偏好是逆的。提出了一种算法,概括了以前提出的算法在不太一般的情况下。该算法提供了一个稳定的协议,该协议比一方的所有稳定协议更受欢迎,因此比另一方的所有稳定协议更不受欢迎。该算法的步骤数与合同集的大小成线性关系,即,多项式的大小问题。该算法证明了在两个逆偏好关系下,稳定的协议形成一个格。在对货币在偏好中的作用的额外假设下,协议问题可以描述商品与货币交换的一般双边市场。稳定的协议提供了一个解决方案的概念,包括价格,这是更一般的竞争均衡。对于相同的物品,它们满足几乎一个价格定律。

英文摘要:

Many-to-many matching with contracts is studied in the framework of revealed preferences. All preferences are described by choice functions that satisfy natural conditions. Under a no-externality assumption individual preferences can be aggregated into a single choice function expressing a collective preference. In this framework, a two-sided matching problem may be described as an agreement problem between two parties: the two parties must find a stable agreement, i.e., a set of contracts from which no party will want to take away any contract and to which the two parties cannot agree to add any contract. On such stable agreements each party's preference relation is a partial order and the two parties have inverse preferences. An algorithm is presented that generalizes algorithms previously proposed in less general situations. This algorithm provides a stable agreement that is preferred to all stable agreements by one of the parties and therefore less preferred than all stable agreements by the other party. The number of steps of the algorithm is linear in the size of the set of contracts, i.e., polynomial in the size of the problem. The algorithm provides a proof that stable agreements form a lattice under the two inverse preference relations. Under additional assumptions on the role of money in preferences, agreement problems can describe general two-sided markets in which goods are exchanged for money. Stable agreements provide a solution concept, including prices, that is more general than competitive equilibria. They satisfy an almost one price law for identical items.
