We simplify the stability notion for the two-sided, one-to-one matching setting in distributional form of Greinecker and Kah (2021). Their stability notion uses the product measure of a matching with itself and requires a certain ``instability'' set to be null. In contrast, our definition of...

Many two-sided marketplaces rely on match recommendations to help customers find suitable service providers at suitable prices. (Examples include Angi, HomeAdvisor, Thumbtack and To8to.) This paper develops a tractable methodology that a platform can use to optimize its match recommendation...

Let $F$ be an edge subset of G. A subset $F$ is a matching preclusion set that$G-F$ has no a perfect matching or an almost perfect matching. The matching preclusion number of G, denoted by mp(G), is the minimum size of $|F|$ whose deletion in $G$ results in neither a perfect matching nor an...

We propose and analyze modular stable matching mechanisms as a candidate for a foundational framework to address the issues of social welfare and equity in the stable matching model. We present two characterizations for modular stable matching mechanisms that reveal the ordinal content of...

This paper presents one-to-one matching and assignment problems with externalities across pairs such as pairs figure skating competition and joint ventures in oligopolistic markets. In these models, players care not only about their partners but also which and how many rival pairs are formed....

The Cobb-Douglas matching function is ubiquitous in search and matching models, even though it imposes a constant matching elasticity that is unlikely to hold empirically. Using a general constant returns to scale matching function, this paper first derives analytical conditions that determine...

In 2013, the Central Bank of Russia started revoking licenses from fraudulent banks. By 2020, two-thirds of all operating banks had been shuttered. We analyze this unique period in history with credit register data. Following “sin” bank closure, poorly-performing “bad” firms rush to...

Die empirische Arbeitsmarktforschung ist derzeit nur eingeschränkt in der Lage, die Qualität der Ausgleichprozesse am Arbeitsmarkt anhand der Merkmale der neu zustande gekommenen Beschäftigungsverhältnisse zu beschreiben. Die Analyse von Stellenanzeigen kann zwar detaillierte Einblicke über...
