Strategic Behavior in Two-sided Matching Markets with Recommendation-enhanced Preference-formation Yuhao Du Department of Informatics Department of CS and Engineering University of Zürich

Two-sided matching markets have long existed to pair agents in the absence of regulated exchanges. A common example is school choice, where a matching mechanism uses student and school preferences to assign students to schools. In such settings, forming preferences is both difficult and critical. Prior work has suggested various prediction mechanisms that help agents make decisions about their preferences. Although often deployed together, these matching and prediction mechanisms are almost always analyzed separately.
