Can you give an example of a problem you go through in the course?
1) Women have preferences over men and men have preferences over women. Is there a stable marriage-matching; i.e. is there a matching between men and women such that no man would like to leave his wife for a woman who also would like to leave her husband for him? (answer: yes; the Noble prize was awarded for the answer in 2012!)

2) A buyer knows his valuation but not the production costs of the seller. The seller knows his production costs but not the buyer's valuation. Is there an institution/market mechanism/game such that the buyer and seller trade if and only if the valuation is higher than the costs? (answer: no)
