Discussion of "Matching with Minimal Priority Rights" by Szilvia Pápai

Assigning a seat

Two-sided matching problems with rather different two sides are fairly common. Of course I do not mean the man-woman dichotomy, but rather schools and pupils and offices and staff members. Unlike most authors in the matching literature, Pápai uses this extra info to design a class of matching rules where the two sides are not acting the same. Here are my summary and comments as presented at the annual congress of the Hungarian Society for Economics, 20-21 December, 2011, Budapest.
