摘要
Researchers have paid scant attention to matchmaking from the perspective of a matchmaker. Therefore, our purpose is to analyze the circumstances under which a matchmaker optimally accepts or rejects individual matching assignments. We concentrate on two specific cases. In the first (second) case, our matchmaker's reservation profit is exogenous (endogenous). (c) 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
