Evaluating search and matching models using experimental data
Lise, Jeremy; Seitz, Shannon; Smith, Jeffrey - In: IZA Journal of Labor Economics 4 (2015), pp. 1-35
This paper introduces an innovative test of search and matching models using the exogenous variation available in experimental data. We take an off-the-shelf search model and calibrate it to data on the control group from a randomized social experiment. We then simulate a program group from a...
