Note on the Relationship Between Partnership Formation Problem and Assignment Game

Abstract

We discuss the partnership formation problem introduced by Talman and Yang (2011), which is a generalization the classical assignment game. We show that the partnership formation problem can be reduced to the assignment game in some sense; more precisely, we show that using an equilibrium in a certain assignment game, we canfind an equilibrium in the partnership formation problem (if it exists). Based on this, we devise an algorithm to compute an equilibrium of a partnership formation problem. We also show that our algorithm can be seen as a generalization of the one by Andersson et al. (2014a).
