In this thesis, we study a linkage between object allocation problems and twosided matching markets. Our main purpose is to analyse the desirable properties such as efficiency, respect for rank and no-discrimination, and associate them with well-known stability concept. We show that any rank respecting allocation could be interpreted a stable allocation of a specific matching market. Under certain circumstances, the allocation also exhibits no-discrimination. Also, we associate our two-sided matching market derived from an object allocation problem with aggregate efficiency concept. Moreover, we provide a process that yields the PS allocation
