    abstract = {In this note we study the National Resident Matching Program
               (NRMP) algorithm in the US market for physicians. We report on
               two problems that concern the presence of couples, a feature
               explicitly incorporated in the new NRMP algorithm (cf. Roth and
               Peranson, 1999). First, we show that the new NRMP algorithm may
               not find an existing stable matching, even when couples'
               preferences are 'responsive,' i.e., when Gale and Shapley's
               (1962) deferred acceptance algorithm (on which the old NRMP
               algorithm is based) is applicable. Second, we demonstrate that
               the new NRMP algorithm may also be manipulated by couples acting
               as singles.},
