This paper analyses the efficiency of the equilibrium allocation in a matching model with two types of workers and jobs …

Are labor markets in higher-income countries more meritocratic, in the sense that worker-job matching is based on … the role of worker-job matching in development accounting, we build an equilibrium matching model that allows for cross … determine match feasibility; (ii) technology, which determines the returns to matching; and (iii) idiosyncratic matching …

market is characterized by assortative matching, and endogenously-determined sharing rules form the basis of intra …-household allocations. By incorporating pre-marital investments and spousal matching into the collective household model, we are able to …

We investigate the matching algorithm used by the German central clearinghouse for university admissions (ZVS) in … criteria applied for admission they all make use of priority matching. In priority matching schemes, it is not a dominant … applicants, we are able to detect some amount of strategic behaviour which can lead to inefficient matching. Alternative ways to …

We argue that using wage data alone, it is virtually impossible to identify whether Assortative Matching between worker … and firm types is positive or negative. In standard competitive matching models the wages are determined by the marginal …

matching market based on the observation of equilibrium matches and wages. The estimation procedure simultaneously fits both … the matching patterns and the wage curve. Our estimator is suited for applications to a wide range of assignment problems. …

We analyze the effects of taxation in two-sided matching markets where agents have heterogeneous preferences over … potential partners. Our model provides a continuous link between models of matching with and without transfers. Taxes generate …
