Critics Review
“Very timely. Until now, there was no focused yet coherent introduction to the subject available to economic theorists.” –Rakesh Vohra, University of Pennsylvania
“As the author develops it, the theory is almost always very clear. The approach that Galichon has developed, based on linear programming, is receiving increased attention from economists and mathematicians in spite of its obvious complexity… . [A] clear and succinct analysis and discussion.” * Choice *
“This book is an excellent introduction to optimal transport for economists. The presentation of the theory is very thoughtfully organized and highly accessible … . Obviously, it is also a great reference for scholars who want to teach a graduate course on the topic.”—Deniz Dizdar, Journal of Economics
