Abstract

The Böhm-Bawerk horse markets are assignment markets with homogeneous goods that are known to have a one-dimensional core. We show here that, although there exist two-sided assignment games with non-homogeneous products and with a segment as a core, the Böhm-Bawerk horse markets are the only ones where every submarket also has a segment as a core.
