National audience Alvin Roth and Lloyd Shapley received in 2012 the Royal Bank of Sweden Prize for Economics in memory of Alfred Nobel, for their work on the centralised organisation of certain economic markets, which depend on the matching of agents of two distinct types (e.g. pupils and schools). Shapley is the co-author, together with David Gale, of the founding article of the domain, proposing an algorithm to achieve stable matching. Roth led the restructuring of the procedure for assigning in-house staff to hospitals in the United States and the design of a market for the transplantation of kidneys. After reporting on these contributions, we also discuss Shapley's decisive role in theory of games. ; Alvin Roth and Lloyd Shapley have received in 2012 the Sveriges Riksbank prize in economic sciences in memory of Alfred Nobel, for their work on the centralized organization of some economic markets, which rely on the matching of agents of two different types (students and schools, for instance).

Roth directed the reform of the entry level labor market for American physicians (the National Resident Matching Program) and the design of a market for kidney transplants. After having surveyed these contributions, we also give an account of Shapley's leading role in game theory. ; National audience Alvin Roth and Lloyd Shapley received in 2012 the Royal Bank of Sweden Prize for Economics in memory of Alfred Nobel, for their work on the centralised organisation of certain economic markets, which depend on the matching of agents of two distinct types (e.g. pupils and schools).
