论文摘要
NRMP中的大多数医生都与他们最受欢迎的实习计划之一相匹配。由于各种调查表明医生偏好的相似之处，因此这表明了一个难题。当每个程序中的职位稀缺时，几乎每个人都能在一个高度理想的程序中获得职位？我们为这个难题提供了一种可能的解释。我们表明，在NRMP数据中观察到的模式可能是匹配之前的访谈过程的伪像。我们的分析强调了相互作用在匹配的交换所之外发生的相互作用的重要性，并对结果进行了疑问，并对清理室的分析提出了疑问。
Most doctors in the NRMP are matched to one of their most-preferred internship programs. Since various surveys indicate similarities across doctors' preferences, this suggests a puzzle. How can nearly everyone get a position in a highly-desirable program when positions in each program are scarce? We provide one possible explanation for this puzzle. We show that the patterns observed in the NRMP data may be an artifact of the interview process that precedes the match. Our analysis highlights the importance of interactions occurring outside of a matching clearinghouse for resulting outcomes, and casts doubts on analysis of clearinghouses that take reported preferences at face value.
