Who Gets Which Seat And Why - SSE's Master Exchange Program from a Matching Theory Perspective

Sammanfattning: In this thesis, we analyze the master exchange program of the Stockholm School of Economics from a matching theory perspective. We develop a theoretical framework, the student exchange problem, within which we define the desirable properties we are interested in. We present and analyze the system currently in use, whose main flaw is to force students to truncate their preference list. We propose some easy-to-implement modifications which would not alter significantly the way the program is managed. Finally, we make a more articulate proposal.
