Abstract
Abstract Stable mechanisms are not strategy-proof in matching markets; however, they work well in practice. We study the college admission problem where colleges have completely heterogeneous preferences, and there is a continuum of students. We find an upper bound for the colleges’ capacities vector such that colleges have the incentive to report their capacities truthfully in any stable mechanism.
