Searching for a better deal : on the influence of group decision making, time pressure and gender in a search experiment

Ibanez, Marcela; Czermak, Simon; Sutter, Matthias - 2008 - This version: 31 March 2008

We study behavior in a search experiment where sellers receive randomized bids from a computer. At any time, sellers can accept the highest standing bid or ask for another bid at positive costs. We find that sellers stop searching earlier than theoretically optimal. Inducing a mild form of time...

Pairwise stable matching in large economies

Greinecker, Michael; Kah, Christopher - 2018

We formulate a general model and stability notion for two-sided pairwise matching problems with individually … existing continuum matching models and stability notions with transferable utility as special cases of our model and stability … notion. In contrast to finite agent matching models, stable matchings exist under a general class of externalities. This …
