Özkal-Sanver (2005) studies stability and e¢ ciency of partitions of agentsin two-sided matching markets where agents are allowed to form partitionsonly by individual moves, and within each coalition of a partition a match-ing rule determines the matching. In this thesis, rst we introduce some ofthe papers in the literature relating to this topic with their results. Then,we present Nizamo¼gullar¬and Özkal-Sanver (2007) is work in which the rela-tionship between stability and e¢ ciency of partitions is analyzed for severalmatching rules and under various membership property rights codes, nowallowing coalitional moves.
