Investigates stable assignments convergence in finite economies, indicating conditions for approximation validity.
The continuum matching model has been instrumental in the studies of finite economies. Yet, there is limited theoretical justification on whether and when a continuum model approximates large finite problems. In this paper, I study the following question: if we randomly sample finite economies from some distribution, will the stable assignments of these finite economies converge to a stable assignment of the continuum economy as we increase the sample size? I provide a simple condition, which I call rich preferences, that guarantees the convergence. I also provide approximate convergence results under weaker conditions.
