Lloyd Shapley and Alvin Roth were awarded the 2012 Prize in Economic Sciences for their work developing and applying theory on stable matching. Shapley established the theoretical foundations in the 1960s, showing stable matchings can be achieved through algorithms like Gale-Shapley. Roth empirically validated this in the 1980s by studying medical resident matching, finding stability was key to success. Their work has had practical impact in designing matching mechanisms for doctors, students, kidneys and more.

The Theory of Physician-Induced Demand
Reflections after a Decade
Uwe E. REINHARDT
Princeton University, Princeton, NJ 08540, USA
Received March 1985
Throughout the past decade or so, American health economists have debated
the question of whether or not physicians can create demand for their
services. The debate has been lively and intense, for at least three reasons.
First, in the role of policy analyst, one would certainly wish to know the
correct answer to this question. The issue bears importantly upon public
policies concerning the training of health professionals.
If physicians could create demand for their services at will, then they could
counteract a drop in the market’s population-physician ratio simply by
increasing the utilization of their services without lowering their fees.
Increases in physician density could thus lead to increased health-care
expenditures without commensurate benefits to patients. Government-
imposed limitations on the supply of medical manpower or controls on
utilization might therefore be legitimate components of any cost-containment
strategy.
On the other hand, if the price-output decisions of physicians were
constrained by exogenously determined demand, then increased utilization
could be achieved only by lowering fees, by lowering the time price of
accessing physician services, or by changing the quality of physicisin services
in ways that are valued by patients. In a market economy, such increases in
utilization would be economically legitimate, even if they resulted. im higher
health care expenditures. It would therefore be more dificult ‘La make a case
for government intervention in the market for physician services.
Our profession’s perennial search for truth, then, could amply justifv the
decade-old debate on this issue. But one suspects that vested interest in
neoclassical economic theory has added at least some fuel tee the flames.

This document summarizes research on the impacts of regulation in the hospital sector. It discusses how hospitals face increasing demand and resource constraints, creating a "perfect storm" of problems. Efforts to apply Lean Management techniques to increase efficiency and flow of patients through emergency departments are summarized. While intended to increase nursing efficiency and free up time for direct patient care, some research discussed found it instead increased nurses' workload and paperwork. The document examines different perspectives on concepts like "patient care" and impacts on both managers and workers like nurses.
The scientific method involves forming hypotheses and designing experiments to test them. Researchers propose tentative explanations and make predictions to empirically test their hypotheses. Galileo was influential in astronomy by observing Jupiter's moons, which did not conform to the geocentric model and faced opposition. Vesalius advanced anatomy by directly studying human cadavers, challenging Galen's teachings based on animal dissections. Semmelweis found physicians had higher childbed fever rates than midwives and reduced mortality to their level by instituting mandatory handwashing with chloride after autopsies. Challenging existing views can meet resistance but simpler explanations may eventually prove correct through further testing.
This document summarizes a chapter from the book "The Ethics of Science" which discusses objectivity in scientific research. It covers several topics related to honesty in research including different types of fabrication and falsification, an infamous case of scientific misconduct, and debates around what constitutes misrepresentation of data versus good scientific practice. It also briefly discusses other issues like plagiarism, dishonesty in grant applications, and definitions of misconduct put forth by scientific organizations.

2. This exercise uses the dataset “WholeFoods.”
(a) Use Excel to construct a relative histogram for store size. Does the distribution of store size appear to be skewed? If so, does it appear to be skewed to the right or to the left? Explain.
(b) Use Excel to calculate the following four measures of central tendency for store size: mean, median, midrange, and 5% trimmed mean (using the trimmed mean definition from the textbook). Do any of these measures of central tendency appear to not be appropriate for this particular dataset? Explain.
(c) Use Excel to calculate the following four measures of dispersion for store size: variance, standard deviation, mean absolute deviation, and coefficient of variation. Please provide brief and “to-the-point” comments on your results.
(d) According to Chebyshev’s Theorem, at least what percentage of the observations within a sample is supposed to lie within 1.5 sample standard deviations of the sample mean? Next, using Excel, please take the observations for store size in the Whole Foods dataset and confirm that this prediction holds within the Whole Foods sample dataset.
(e) Use Excel to calculate the first quartile, the third quartile, the midhinge, and interquartile range for store size. Next, use Excel to create a box plot graph for store size. (Note: Excel does not have a built-in function for creating a box plot. Your group will need to “figure out” how to do it. For example, the internet has many examples of how to create a box plot in Excel using column/bar charts. You may do either a “horizontal” box plot (i.e., a box plot with the “whiskers” pointing to the right and to the left) or a “vertical” box plot (i.e., a box plot with the “whiskers” pointing to the top and to the bottom).)
(f) Use Excel to calculate both inner fences (left and right) for store size, and then both outer fences (left and right) for store size. Based on these calculated values, are there any “outlier” stores in the data? Any “extreme outlier” stores in the data? If so, which stores are they? (Note: In answering this question, please use the definition of “outlier” and “extreme outlier” provided on page 144 of the textbook; please do not use the definition of “outlier” provided on pages 135-137 of the textbook.) (g) Use Excel to calculate skewness for the variable store size. Is store size skewed right or left? Does your answer corroborate the answer you provided in part 2(a) above?

Does Poor Communication Lead to Medical Malpractice Claims? By Floyd ArthurFloyd Arthur
Poor communication between doctors and patients may be a significant contributing factor to medical malpractice claims. Studies show that patients most often file malpractice suits due to a lack of information or honesty from their doctor, rather than solely for financial gain as doctors believe. Hospitals that encourage doctors to disclose errors to patients have seen substantial decreases in malpractice lawsuits of around 50-68%. However, effective communication remains a challenge given time constraints of typical patient visits and focus on productivity over relationships. Allowing patients to fully express their concerns may help address this issue.

two scenarios from the Conflict-Handing Styles section and write a 700- to 1,050-word response to the questions provided at the end of each scenario. Using the scenarios, identify a problem-solving model that could be used in the situation and leadership qualities that may be involved. Describe a process that the leader may need to use to promote change within this organization after a situation like this has occurred.
Case Study 14–7 Conflict-Handling Styles
For each of the five scenarios described below, determine what is the most appropriate conflict-handling style(s).
Scenario One
A radiologist on the staff of a large community hospital was stopped after a staff meeting by a colleague in internal medicine. On Monday of the previous week, the internist referred an elderly man with chronic, productive cough for chest X-ray, with a clinical diagnosis of bronchitis. Thursday morning the internist received the radiologist’s written X-ray report with a diagnosis of “probable bronchogenic carcinoma.” The internist expressed his dismay that the radiologist had not called him much earlier with a verbal report. Visibly upset, the internist raised his voice, but did not use abusive language.
How should the radiologist handle this conflict with the internist?
Scenario Two
The Family and Community Medicine Division of a large-staff model HMO serves a population that is ethnically diverse. The senior management team of the HMO, spurred by repeated complaints from representatives of one racial group, has encouraged the division, all of whose physicians are white, to diversify. Several black and Hispanic physicians with strong credentials apply for the open positions, but none is hired. Weeks later, a young female family physician learns from several colleagues that the division director has identified her as racist and the obstructionist to recruiting. The comments attributed to her are not only false but are also typical of discriminatory statements that she has heard the division chief utter. The rumors about her “behavior” have circulated widely in the division.
How should the young female family physician handle this conflict with the division chief?
Scenario Three
A manager who reports to the Vice President for Clinical Affairs (VPCA) of a tertiary-care hospital hired a young woman to supervise development of a large community outreach program. During the first four months of her employment, several behavioral problems came to the VPCA’s attention: (1) complaints from community physicians that the coordinator criticizes other physicians in public; (2) concerns from two community leaders that the coordinator is not truthful; and (3) written reports about the project that label and blame others, sometimes in language that is disrespectful. The VPCA spoke several times to the manager about these problems. The manager reported other diss.

The document discusses reasons for lower voter turnout in primary elections compared to general elections, such as a lack of informed voters and societal pressure. Primary elections involve more candidate choices across parties and different objectives than general elections, overwhelming some voters. Additionally, voters are less likely to be punished or rewarded for not voting in primaries. However, general elections involve more social encouragement and pressure to vote.
The document discusses the challenges of forecasting in oncology over the past decade. In the past, forecasting models relied primarily on incidence data due to lack of other data sources. Factors like line of therapy, treatment settings, and impact on survival added complexity. Data and technology limitations also posed challenges. Over time, more data sources like patient records enabled the development of the first dynamic forecasting models to better capture market dynamics for diseases like HIV and oncology.

This document summarizes a symposium discussion on reproducibility and reliability issues in biomedical research. The key points are:
1) There is a widespread perception that much of the scientific literature may be untrue due to problems like small sample sizes, questionable research practices, and conflicts of interest.
2) Journals, universities, and research culture also contribute by incentivizing quantity over quality, impact factors, and "sexy" findings over important confirmations.
3) Proposed solutions discussed fixing incentives to reward reliability over productivity, preregistration, collaboration over competition, and adopting standards from fields like particle physics where the bar for a "significant" result is much higher.

This document provides a summary of an undergraduate thesis on asset pricing theories and financial markets. It discusses the efficient market hypothesis (EMH) which states that markets correctly price assets based on available information. While some empirical tests support aspects of the EMH, its assumptions of rational expectations and market efficiency have been challenged. The document also summarizes Minsky's financial instability hypothesis which argues that periods of economic stability can lead to increased risk-taking and financial crises. Overall, the document examines different theories for how financial markets function and pricing of assets, with a focus on challenges to the EMH raised by financial crises.

Point-of-Care Testing (PoCT) has dramatically taken over the field of clinical laboratory testing since it’s introduction approximately 45 years ago. The technologies utilized in PoCT have been refined to deliver accurate and expedient test results and will become even more sensitive and accurate in order to dominate the field of clinical laboratory testing. Furthermore, there will be a dramatic increase in the volume of clinical testing performed outside of the laboratory. New and emerging PoCT technologies utilize sophisticated molecular techniques such as polymerase chain reaction to aid in the treatment of major health problems worldwide, such as sexually transmitted infections (John & Price, 2014).
Historic Timeline
In the early-to-mid 1990’s, bench top analyzers entered the clinical laboratory scene. These analyzers were much smaller than the conventional analyzers being used, and utilized touch-screen PCs for ease of use. For this reason, they were able to be used closer to the patient’s bedside or outside of the laboratory environment. However, at this point in time, laboratory testing results were stored within the device and would have to then be sent to the main central laboratory for analysis.
Technology in the mid-to-late 1990’s permitted analyzers to be much smaller so that they may be easily carried to the patient’s location. Computers also became more ...
1) Ricardo Hausmann argues that while evidence-based policies make sense, the current focus on randomized controlled trials (RCTs) as the "gold standard" of evidence is problematic and limiting innovation.
2) RCTs can only test one or a few interventions or designs at a time slowly, but most social policies have millions of possible designs.
3) Hausmann proposes an alternative approach where organizations continuously try new approaches, use real-time feedback to assess performance, and share successful strategies - similar to machine learning. This could more quickly identify high-performing combinations in complex policy landscapes.

2. This exercise uses the dataset “WholeFoods.”
(a) Use Excel to construct a relative histogram for store size. Does the distribution of store size appear to be skewed? If so, does it appear to be skewed to the right or to the left? Explain.
(b) Use Excel to calculate the following four measures of central tendency for store size: mean, median, midrange, and 5% trimmed mean (using the trimmed mean definition from the textbook). Do any of these measures of central tendency appear to not be appropriate for this particular dataset? Explain.
(c) Use Excel to calculate the following four measures of dispersion for store size: variance, standard deviation, mean absolute deviation, and coefficient of variation. Please provide brief and “to-the-point” comments on your results.
(d) According to Chebyshev’s Theorem, at least what percentage of the observations within a sample is supposed to lie within 1.5 sample standard deviations of the sample mean? Next, using Excel, please take the observations for store size in the Whole Foods dataset and confirm that this prediction holds within the Whole Foods sample dataset.
(e) Use Excel to calculate the first quartile, the third quartile, the midhinge, and interquartile range for store size. Next, use Excel to create a box plot graph for store size. (Note: Excel does not have a built-in function for creating a box plot. Your group will need to “figure out” how to do it. For example, the internet has many examples of how to create a box plot in Excel using column/bar charts. You may do either a “horizontal” box plot (i.e., a box plot with the “whiskers” pointing to the right and to the left) or a “vertical” box plot (i.e., a box plot with the “whiskers” pointing to the top and to the bottom).)
(f) Use Excel to calculate both inner fences (left and right) for store size, and then both outer fences (left and right) for store size. Based on these calculated values, are there any “outlier” stores in the data? Any “extreme outlier” stores in the data? If so, which stores are they? (Note: In answering this question, please use the definition of “outlier” and “extreme outlier” provided on page 144 of the textbook; please do not use the definition of “outlier” provided on pages 135-137 of the textbook.) (g) Use Excel to calculate skewness for the variable store size. Is store size skewed right or left? Does your answer corroborate the answer you provided in part 2(a) above?

Does Poor Communication Lead to Medical Malpractice Claims? By Floyd ArthurFloyd Arthur
Poor communication between doctors and patients may be a significant contributing factor to medical malpractice claims. Studies show that patients most often file malpractice suits due to a lack of information or honesty from their doctor, rather than solely for financial gain as doctors believe. Hospitals that encourage doctors to disclose errors to patients have seen substantial decreases in malpractice lawsuits of around 50-68%. However, effective communication remains a challenge given time constraints of typical patient visits and focus on productivity over relationships. Allowing patients to fully express their concerns may help address this issue.

Choose
two scenarios from the Conflict-Handing Styles section and write a 700- to 1,050-word response to the questions provided at the end of each scenario. Using the scenarios, identify a problem-solving model that could be used in the situation and leadership qualities that may be involved. Describe a process that the leader may need to use to promote change within this organization after a situation like this has occurred.
Case Study 14–7 Conflict-Handling Styles
For each of the five scenarios described below, determine what is the most appropriate conflict-handling style(s).
Scenario One
A radiologist on the staff of a large community hospital was stopped after a staff meeting by a colleague in internal medicine. On Monday of the previous week, the internist referred an elderly man with chronic, productive cough for chest X-ray, with a clinical diagnosis of bronchitis. Thursday morning the internist received the radiologist’s written X-ray report with a diagnosis of “probable bronchogenic carcinoma.” The internist expressed his dismay that the radiologist had not called him much earlier with a verbal report. Visibly upset, the internist raised his voice, but did not use abusive language.
How should the radiologist handle this conflict with the internist?
Scenario Two
The Family and Community Medicine Division of a large-staff model HMO serves a population that is ethnically diverse. The senior management team of the HMO, spurred by repeated complaints from representatives of one racial group, has encouraged the division, all of whose physicians are white, to diversify. Several black and Hispanic physicians with strong credentials apply for the open positions, but none is hired. Weeks later, a young female family physician learns from several colleagues that the division director has identified her as racist and the obstructionist to recruiting. The comments attributed to her are not only false but are also typical of discriminatory statements that she has heard the division chief utter. The rumors about her “behavior” have circulated widely in the division.
How should the young female family physician handle this conflict with the division chief?
Scenario Three
A manager who reports to the Vice President for Clinical Affairs (VPCA) of a tertiary-care hospital hired a young woman to supervise development of a large community outreach program. During the first four months of her employment, several behavioral problems came to the VPCA’s attention: (1) complaints from community physicians that the coordinator criticizes other physicians in public; (2) concerns from two community leaders that the coordinator is not truthful; and (3) written reports about the project that label and blame others, sometimes in language that is disrespectful. The VPCA spoke several times to the manager about these problems. The manager reported other diss.

How To Start Off A Good Argumentative EssayLaura Jones
The document discusses reasons for lower voter turnout in primary elections compared to general elections, such as a lack of informed voters and societal pressure. Primary elections involve more candidate choices across parties and different objectives than general elections, overwhelming some voters. Additionally, voters are less likely to be punished or rewarded for not voting in primaries. However, general elections involve more social encouragement and pressure to vote.
The document discusses the challenges of forecasting in oncology over the past decade. In the past, forecasting models relied primarily on incidence data due to lack of other data sources. Factors like line of therapy, treatment settings, and impact on survival added complexity. Data and technology limitations also posed challenges. Over time, more data sources like patient records enabled the development of the first dynamic forecasting models to better capture market dynamics for diseases like HIV and oncology.

Richard horton Offl ine: What is medicine’s 5 sigma?Anochi.com.
This document summarizes a symposium discussion on reproducibility and reliability issues in biomedical research. The key points are:
1) There is a widespread perception that much of the scientific literature may be untrue due to problems like small sample sizes, questionable research practices, and conflicts of interest.
2) Journals, universities, and research culture also contribute by incentivizing quantity over quality, impact factors, and "sexy" findings over important confirmations.
3) Proposed solutions discussed fixing incentives to reward reliability over productivity, preregistration, collaboration over competition, and adopting standards from fields like particle physics where the bar for a "significant" result is much higher.

This document provides a summary of an undergraduate thesis on asset pricing theories and financial markets. It discusses the efficient market hypothesis (EMH) which states that markets correctly price assets based on available information. While some empirical tests support aspects of the EMH, its assumptions of rational expectations and market efficiency have been challenged. The document also summarizes Minsky's financial instability hypothesis which argues that periods of economic stability can lead to increased risk-taking and financial crises. Overall, the document examines different theories for how financial markets function and pricing of assets, with a focus on challenges to the EMH raised by financial crises.
1. Bayesian statistics provides a quantitative framework for representing current knowledge and integrating new information in a rational way. It is well-suited for steps 2 and 5 of the scientific method.
2. The history of Bayesian statistics began with Thomas Bayes in the 18th century. While his work was initially controversial, Bayesian thinking continued to develop and is now widely used, such as in medical research and driverless cars.
3. The example discusses a friend wondering about her chances of having breast cancer before a screening mammogram. It introduces quantifying uncertainty with probabilities and updating probabilities rationally based on new data using Bayes' rule.

Lighting the Way - The Era of the ARO (European Pharmaceutical Contractor, Au...Cyrus Park
We are entering a new era of the ARO, one that challenges the current paradigm of clinical development and the numerous offerings of CROs. It will not be long before AROs play a more central role in pharmaceutical clinical development plans.
AROs, like Julius Clinical, have evolved over the years, giving rise to various definitions of what an ARO is and what it isn’t. In this opinion piece, published in the European Pharmaceutical Contractor (EPC) magazine, Cyrus Park highlights four common misperceptions about academic research organizations (AROs) and attempts to dispel some of the misconceptions from his own observations.

Point-of-Care Testing (PoCT) has dramatically taken over the field of clinical laboratory testing since it’s introduction approximately 45 years ago. The technologies utilized in PoCT have been refined to deliver accurate and expedient test results and will become even more sensitive and accurate in order to dominate the field of clinical laboratory testing. Furthermore, there will be a dramatic increase in the volume of clinical testing performed outside of the laboratory. New and emerging PoCT technologies utilize sophisticated molecular techniques such as polymerase chain reaction to aid in the treatment of major health problems worldwide, such as sexually transmitted infections (John & Price, 2014).
Historic Timeline
In the early-to-mid 1990’s, bench top analyzers entered the clinical laboratory scene. These analyzers were much smaller than the conventional analyzers being used, and utilized touch-screen PCs for ease of use. For this reason, they were able to be used closer to the patient’s bedside or outside of the laboratory environment. However, at this point in time, laboratory testing results were stored within the device and would have to then be sent to the main central laboratory for analysis.
Technology in the mid-to-late 1990’s permitted analyzers to be much smaller so that they may be easily carried to the patient’s location. Computers also became more ...
1) Ricardo Hausmann argues that while evidence-based policies make sense, the current focus on randomized controlled trials (RCTs) as the "gold standard" of evidence is problematic and limiting innovation.
2) RCTs can only test one or a few interventions or designs at a time slowly, but most social policies have millions of possible designs.
3) Hausmann proposes an alternative approach where organizations continuously try new approaches, use real-time feedback to assess performance, and share successful strategies - similar to machine learning. This could more quickly identify high-performing combinations in complex policy landscapes.

"Does Foreign Direct Investment Negatively Affect Preservation of Culture in the Global South? Case Studies in Thailand and Cambodia."
Do elements of globalization, such as Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), negatively affect the ability of countries in the Global South to preserve their culture? This research aims to answer this question by employing a cross-sectional comparative case study analysis utilizing methods of difference. Thailand and Cambodia are compared as they are in the same region and have a similar culture. The metric of difference between Thailand and Cambodia is their ability to preserve their culture. This ability is operationalized by their respective attitudes towards FDI; Thailand imposes stringent regulations and limitations on FDI while Cambodia does not hesitate to accept most FDI and imposes fewer limitations. The evidence from this study suggests that FDI from globally influential countries with high gross domestic products (GDPs) (e.g. China, U.S.) challenges the ability of countries with lower GDPs (e.g. Cambodia) to protect their culture. Furthermore, the ability, or lack thereof, of the receiving countries to protect their culture is amplified by the existence and implementation of restrictive FDI policies imposed by their governments.
My study abroad in Bali, Indonesia, inspired this research topic as I noticed how globalization is changing the culture of its people. I learned their language and way of life which helped me understand the beauty and importance of cultural preservation. I believe we could all benefit from learning new perspectives as they could help us ideate solutions to contemporary issues and empathize with others.

Fabular Frames and the Four Ratio ProblemMajid Iqbal
Digital, interactive art showing the struggle of a society in providing for its present population while also saving planetary resources for future generations. Spread across several frames, the art is actually the rendering of real and speculative data. The stereographic projections change shape in response to prompts and provocations. Visitors interact with the model through speculative statements about how to increase savings across communities, regions, ecosystems and environments. Their fabulations combined with random noise, i.e. factors beyond control, have a dramatic effect on the societal transition. Things get better. Things get worse. The aim is to give visitors a new grasp and feel of the ongoing struggles in democracies around the world.
Stunning art in the small multiples format brings out the spatiotemporal nature of societal transitions, against backdrop issues such as energy, housing, waste, farmland and forest. In each frame we see hopeful and frightful interplays between spending and saving. Problems emerge when one of the two parts of the existential anaglyph rapidly shrinks like Arctic ice, as factors cross thresholds. Ecological wealth and intergenerational equity areFour at stake. Not enough spending could mean economic stress, social unrest and political conflict. Not enough saving and there will be climate breakdown and ‘bankruptcy’. So where does speculative design start and the gambling and betting end? Behind each fabular frame is a four ratio problem. Each ratio reflects the level of sacrifice and self-restraint a society is willing to accept, against promises of prosperity and freedom. Some values seem to stabilise a frame while others cause collapse. Get the ratios right and we can have it all. Get them wrong and things get more desperate.

A toxic combination of 15 years of low growth, and four decades of high inequality, has left Britain poorer and falling behind its peers. Productivity growth is weak and public investment is low, while wages today are no higher than they were before the financial crisis. Britain needs a new economic strategy to lift itself out of stagnation.
Scotland is in many ways a microcosm of this challenge. It has become a hub for creative industries, is home to several world-class universities and a thriving community of businesses – strengths that need to be harness and leveraged. But it also has high levels of deprivation, with homelessness reaching a record high and nearly half a million people living in very deep poverty last year. Scotland won’t be truly thriving unless it finds ways to ensure that all its inhabitants benefit from growth and investment. This is the central challenge facing policy makers both in Holyrood and Westminster.
What should a new national economic strategy for Scotland include? What would the pursuit of stronger economic growth mean for local, national and UK-wide policy makers? How will economic change affect the jobs we do, the places we live and the businesses we work for? And what are the prospects for cities like Glasgow, and nations like Scotland, in rising to these challenges?

Furthermore, the ability, or lack thereof, of the receiving countries to protect their culture is amplified by the existence and implementation of restrictive FDI policies imposed by their governments.
My study abroad in Bali, Indonesia, inspired this research topic as I noticed how globalization is changing the culture of its people. I learned their language and way of life which helped me understand the beauty and importance of cultural preservation. I believe we could all benefit from learning new perspectives as they could help us ideate solutions to contemporary issues and empathize with others.

Stable matching: Theory, evidence, and practical design
This year’s Prize to Lloyd Shapley and Alvin Roth extends from abstract theory developed in the 1960s,
over empirical work in the 1980s, to ongoing efforts to find practical solutions to real-world prob-
lems. Examples include the assignment of new doctors to hospitals, students to schools, and human
organs for transplant to recipients. Lloyd Shapley made the early theoretical contributions, which were
unexpectedly adopted two decades later when Alvin Roth investigated the market for U.S. doctors. His
findings generated further analytical developments, as well as practical design of market institutions.
Traditional economic analysis studies markets where prices adjust so that supply equals demand. Both
theory and practice show that markets function well in many cases. But in some situations, the standard
market mechanism encounters problems, and there are cases where prices cannot be used at all to
allocate resources. For example, many schools and universities are prevented from charging tuition
fees and, in the case of human organs for transplants, monetary payments are ruled out on ethical
grounds. Yet, in these – and many other – cases, an allocation has to be made. How do such processes
actually work, and when is the outcome efficient?
Matching theory
The Gale-Shapley algorithm
Analysis of allocation mechanisms relies on a rather abstract idea. If rational people – who know their
best interests and behave accordingly – simply engage in unrestricted mutual trade, then the outcome
should be efficient. If it is not, some individuals would devise new trades that made them better off.
An allocation where no individuals perceive any gains from further trade is called stable. The notion of
stability is a central concept in cooperative game theory, an abstract area of mathematical economics
which seeks to determine how any constellation of rational individuals might cooperatively choose an
allocation. The primary architect of this branch of game theory was Lloyd Shapley, who developed its
main concepts in the 1950s and 1960s.
Unrestricted trading is a key presumption underlying the concept of stability. Although it allows clear
analysis, it is difficult to imagine in many real-world situations. In 1962, Shapley applied the idea of
stability to a special case. In a short paper, joint with David Gale, he examined the case of pairwise
matching: how individuals can be paired up when they all have different views regarding who would
be the best match.
Matching partners
Gale and Shapley analyzed matching at an abstract, general level. They used marriage as one of their
illustrative examples. How should ten women and ten men be matched, while respecting their indi-
vidual preferences? The main challenge involved designing a simple mechanism that would lead to a
stable matching, where no couples would break up and form new matches which would make them
better off. The solution – the Gale-Shapley “deferred acceptance” algorithm – was a set of simple rules
that always led straight to a stable matching.
The Gale-Shapley algorithm can be set up in two alternative ways: either men propose to women,
or women propose to men. In the latter case, the process begins with each woman proposing to the
man she likes the best. Each man then looks at the different proposals he has received (if any), retains
2. what he regards as the most attractive proposal (but defers from accepting it) and rejects the others.
The women who were rejected in the first round then propose to their second-best choices, while the
men again keep their best offer and reject the rest. This continues until no women want to make any
further proposals. As each of the men then accepts the proposal he holds, the process comes to an end.
Gale and Shapley proved mathematically that this algorithm always leads to a stable matching.
The specific setup of the algorithm turned out to have important distributional consequences; it mat-
ters a great deal whether the right to propose is given to the women – as in our example – or to the
men. If the women propose, the outcome is better for them than if the men propose, because some
women wind up with men they like better, and no woman is worse off than if the men had been given
the right to propose. Indeed, the resulting matching is better for the women than any other stable
matching. Conversely, the reverse algorithm – where the men propose – leads to the worst outcome
from the women’s perspective.
The clarity and elegance of the Gale-Shapley paper placed it on academic reading lists for economics
students worldwide. But its real-world relevance was not recognized until much later. In the early 1980s,
Alvin Roth set out to study a very practical allocation problem: the market for newly examined doctors.
Evidence
Markets for new doctors
In the U.S., students who graduate from medical school are typically employed as residents (interns) at
hospitals, where they comprise a significant part of the labor force. In the early 1900s, this market was
largely decentralized. During the 1940s, competition for scarce medical students forced hospitals to
offer residencies (internships) increasingly early, sometimes several years before graduation. Matches
were made before the students could produce evidence of their qualifications, and even before they
knew which branch of medicine they would like to practice. When an offer was rejected, it was often
too late to make offers to other candidates. A market ridden with such problems does not produce
stable matches, because not enough offers can be made in time to ensure mutually beneficial trades.
In order to make more offers quickly, hospitals imposed strict deadlines for responding to offers. This,
in turn, forced students to make early decisions without knowing what other opportunities would
become available later on.
In response to these problems, a centralized “clearinghouse”, called the National Resident Matching
Program (NRMP), was introduced in the early 1950s. In a paper from 1984, Alvin Roth studied the
algorithm used by this clearinghouse and discovered that it was closely related to the Gale-Shapley
algorithm. He then hypothesized that the fundamental reason for the success of the NRMP was that
it produced stable matches. In the early 1990s, Roth went on to study similar medical markets in the
U.K. There, he found that different regions had adopted different algorithms, some of which produced
stable matches and others not. Those which resulted in stable matches had turned out to be successful,
whereas the other algorithms had broken down in various ways.
Practical design
Matching doctors and hospitals
Despite its success, the NRMP still encountered problems. The number of female medical students
had grown, and it became increasingly common that dual-doctor couples looked for internships in the
same region. The NRMP could not accommodate these requests, so that many applicants chose not to
use the mechanism: a sign that it was not stable. The NRMP – where the hospitals offered positions
to students – was also criticized for systematically favoring hospitals over students. Indeed, as Gale

Matching doctors and hospitals. When the doctors make offers, they all first choose hospital a, which accepts doctor 1 (the hospital’s first
choice). In a second stage, doctor 2 makes an offer to hospital b, and doctor 3 to hospital c, which gives a stable matching. When the hospi-
tals have the right to make offers, the result is instead that doctor 2 is matched with hospital c and 3 with b.
and Shapley had shown theoretically, the proposing side of the market (in this case, the hospitals) is
systematically favored. In 1995, Roth was asked to help design an improved algorithm that would
eliminate these problems. Along with Elliott Peranson, he formulated an algorithm, built on appli-
cant proposals and designed to accommodate couples. The new algorithm, adopted by the NRMP in
1997, has worked well and over 20,000 positions per year have since been matched with applicants.
The research underlying the revised design prompted the development of new theory. It seemed that
applicants could manipulate the original algorithm – by turning down offers which they actually pre-
ferred and keeping those which were worse – in order to achieve a better outcome. In several theoretical
papers, Roth showed how misrepresentation of one’s true preferences might be in the interest of the
receiving side (students in the original NRMP) in some algorithms. Drawing on this insight, the revised
NRMP algorithm was designed to be immune to student misrepresentation. Furthermore, computer
simulations verified that, in practice, it was not sensitive to strategic manipulation by the hospitals.

4. Matching students and high-schools
The Gale-Shapley algorithm proved to be useful in other applications, such as high-school choice.
Up until 2003, applicants to New York City public high schools were asked to rank their five most
preferred choices, after which these preference lists were sent to the schools. The schools then decided
which students to admit, reject, or place on waiting lists. The process was repeated in two more
rounds, and students who had not been assigned to any school after the third round were allocated
through an administrative process. However, this did not provide the applicants with enough oppor-
tunities to list their preferences, and the schools did not have enough opportunities to make offers. As
a result, about 30,000 students per year ended up at schools they had not listed. Moreover, the process
gave rise to misrepresentation of preferences. Since schools were more likely to admit students who
ranked them as their first choice, students unlikely to be admitted to their favorite school found it
in their best interest to list a more realistic option as their first choice, while applicants who simply
reported their true preferences suffered unnecessarily poor outcomes. In 2003, Roth and his colleagues
helped redesign this admissions process, based on an applicant-proposing version of the Gale-Shapley
algorithm. The new algorithm proved to be successful, with a 90 percent reduction in the number of
students assigned to schools for which they had expressed no preference. Today, a growing number of
U.S. metropolitan areas use some variant of the Gale-Shapley algorithm.
Matching kidneys and patients
The matching settings described so far involve two sides that both make active decisions. Some real-
world situations are one-sided, however, in the sense that the other side is entirely passive. A practical
example is the matching of kidneys and other human organs to patients in need of a transplant. How
can this be accomplished in an efficient way?
This problem was studied by Shapley and his colleagues, again in the abstract and based on the notion
of stability. The proposed algorithm – the so-called top trading cycle – is in fact very simple. It is based
on an initial allocation of objects and subsequent swapping. A challenge in the case of human organs
is that some kidney-patient pairs may not be compatible and that complex multilateral swaps may be
quite time consuming. Again, a combination of theory and experimental work has been used to com-
pare different versions of top trading. As a result, increasingly complex chains of kidney donations are
now adopted in a number of U.S. states.
Extensions to new markets
A striking feature of the above examples is that prices are not part of the process. Does the absence of
a price mechanism in the basic Gale-Shapley algorithm limit its applicability? Not necessarily. Shapley
and others examined extensions of the original model that allow for prices (salaries, in the market for
doctors) to be part of the offers. Algorithms including prices work in much the same way and pro-
duce stable matches with broadly similar features. In fact, matching with prices is closely related to
auctions, where objects are matched with buyers and where prices are decisive. Research that relates
matching algorithms to auctions has recently generated interesting theoretical results, which appear
to be applicable in practice. A case in point is the internet auction, in particular search engines that
auction out space for advertisers. Companies in this business have benefited from insights inherent
in the Gale-Shapley algorithms and have used top economists as experts in designing new auctions.
This year’s prize rewards a flourishing field of research, where theory, evidence, and design are used
interactively. Lloyd Shapley and Alvin Roth have worked independently of each other, but the success
of their research is due to the combination of Shapley’s theoretical results with Roth’s insights into
their practical value. The field continues to grow and holds great promise for the future.
