Matching with Contracts: Comment
评论Hatfield和Milgrom（2005）关于匹配与合同的模型，指出其关于替代条件必要性的一个论断不成立，并提出保证稳定分配存在的更弱条件。
Hatfield and Milgrom (2005) present a unified model of matching with contracts phrased in terms of hospitals and doctors, which subsumes the standard two-sided matching and some package auction models. They show that a stable allocation exists if contracts are substitutes for each hospital. They further claim that if a hospital's preferences violate the substitutes condition, there exist singleton preferences for the other hospitals and doctors such that no stable allocation exists. We show this last claim does not hold in general. We further present a weaker condition that is necessary to guarantee the existence of stable allocations.
