Description
In many two-sided matching markets agents initially engage in costly interviews in order to refine their interim preferences. We study how signaling mechanisms can reduce the number of interviews in random markets. We are interested in interim stability, which expands the notion of stability to ensure that no two agents regret not interviewing with each other. The final match is almost interim stable if it is interim stable after removing a vanishing small fraction of agents.
For single-tiered markets, we study the impact of short-side (resp. long-side, both-side) signaling, where agents from short-side (resp. long-side, both-side) of the market signal their top
Our analysis for sparse interview markets develops a message-passing algorithm that efficiently determines interim stability and match outcomes by leveraging their local neighborhood structure.
