- Abstract
The authors discuss aspects of Match strategy and the impact of the National Resident Matching Program (NRMP) rules in the Match function better in the U.S. The authors explain the Match algorithm and unintended incentives and ethical problems in the strategy which has been criticized for promoting cynicism, manipulation, distrust, and power differential. The authors state that a redesign of NRMP rules may be required for students to have clear information on the ranking.
