Here's the announcement:
"The R. K. Cho Economics Prize 2026 will be awarded to Professor Fuhito Kojima (University of Tokyo) for the practical development and implementation of matching theory.
"Professor Kojima is a leading scholar in the fields of matching theory and market design. He has developed these fields by studying practical aspects of matching markets such as large markets and distributional constraints. Building on his theoretical knowledge, he has contributed to the improvement of real-world matching and allocation mechanisms, including medical residency programs and nursery school admissions in Japan."
