Title:
Gross substitutes, optimal transport and matching models: Lecture 2
Speaker:
Abstract:
Gross substitutes is a fundamental property in mathematics, economics and computation, almost as important as convexity. It is at the heart of optimal transport theory – although this is often underrecognized – and understanding the connection key to understanding the extension of optimal transport to other models of matching.
