Abstract
We survey the literature on applications of matching theory under non-transferable utility. We cover the following six applications in detail: living-donor kidney exchange, living-donor liver exchange, cadet-branch matching in the US Army, affirmative action in India, the matching market for entry-level physicians in the US, and course allocation at universities. We also survey other notable applications.
