We study estimation and non-parametric identification of preferences in two-sided matching markets using data from a … other that does not use information available in many-to-one matching. We also prove consistency of a method of moments … estimator for a parametric model under a data generating process in which the size of the matching market increases, but data …

A large literature uses matching models to analyze markets with two-sided heterogeneity, studying problems such as the … matching of students to schools, residents to hospitals, husbands to wives, and workers to firms. The analysis typically … matching problems with one-sided asymmetric information. The key conceptual problem is to formulate a notion of a blocking pair …

violates one of our conditions. Finally, we use our approach to evaluate the evolution of assortative matching in the US over … the last decades, and conclude that assortative matching has increased, particularly at the top of the education …

make investments before matching in a competitive market. We introduce the notion of premuneration values -- the values to …

We develop an empirical search-matching model which is suitable for analyzing the wage, employment and welfare impact … wage determination and employment which extends the current literature on equilibrium wage determination with matching and … of assortative matching between workers and jobs due to complementarities between worker and job characteristics. We use …

. Equilibrium investments and the equilibrium matching will be efficient if agents can simultaneously negotiate investments and … matches, but we focus on markets in which agents must first sink their investments before matching. Additional equilibria may … arise in this sunk-investment setting, even though our matching market is competitive. These equilibria exhibit …
