Online job fairs are a new labor market intervention. This paper provides the first experimental evidence on their impact by evaluating an online fair for information and communication technology jobs in Bangladesh. The fair generated a non-negligible number of job offers; however, over 90% of...

Differences in labour market institutions and regulations between countries of the monetary union can cause divergent responses even to a common shock. We augment a multi-country model of the euro area with search and matching framework that differs across Ricardian and hand-to-mouth households....

Most theoretical research on two-sided matching markets has focused on agents' incentives to misreport their own preferences while paying little attention to their incentives to manipulate the preferences of agents on the other side of the market. This paper attempts to fill this gap by showing...

This study explicates venture capitalists’ (VCs) successful exits from joint ventures based on their matching relationship with start-ups. Analysing data from China’s VC market, we find that balanced matching between similarly ranked VCs and start-ups promotes VCs’ successful exits, while...

We employ a sample of 10,136 Italian micro-, small-, and mid-sized enterprises (MSMEs) that borrow from 113 cooperative banks to examine whether market pricing of publicly listed firms adds additional information to accounting measures in predicting default of private unlisted firms. Through a...

This paper adds endogenous choice to workers’ behavior in a modified O-Ring framework, explicitly modeling the sorting dynamics as workers move between firms/countries at the micro-level. This approach reveals in a world with heterogeneous technology, workers sort into a previously unknown...

I study the relationship between a matching platform's design and users' welfare. Increasing users' number of prospects has a positive choice effect (users are more likely to find a desirable partner) and a negative competition effect (users are less likely to match). The interaction of choice...

UKFPO is exploring a proposal to change the system by which it allocates places at UK foundation schools to doctors. The proposal changes not only the priority order used as a basis of allocating places at highly sought after schools, but also the allocation procedure by which the doctors’...

This paper adopts deep learning physics-informed neural networks to resolve a static assignment model. Workers and firms match in the labor market, and the firm size is endogenous. A perturbation analysis of the equilibrium is carried out, and it is found that the perturbed matching rule follows...
