    Matching markets with farsighted couples 

    Atay, Ata; Funck, Sylvain; Mauleon, Ana; Vannetelbosch, Vincent (Publication date: 2025-09-02)

    We adopt the notion of the farsighted stable set to determine which matchings are stable when agents are farsighted in matching markets with couples. We show that a singleton matching is a farsighted stable set if and only ...

    Lanchester duopoly model revisited: advertising competition under time inconsistent preferences 

    Lu, Lijue; Navas, Jorge (Publication date: 2022-03-09)

    A bargaining set for roommate problems 

    Atay, Ata; Mauleon, Ana; Vannetelbosch, Vincent (Publication date: 2023-06-16)
