The approach that Galichon has developed, based on linear programming, is receiving increased attention from economists and mathematicians in spite of its obvious complexity... [A] clear and succinct analysis and discussion. --Choice Author InformationAlfred Galichon holds joint appointments in the Department of Economics and the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences at New York University.
