It also captures well-known matching patterns in each of these sectors …This paper presents a tractable framework for studying frictionless matching in school, work, and marriage when … communicate and coordinate at lower resource cost. The theory delivers full task specialization in the labor and education markets …

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 …

We incorporate externalities into the stable matching theory of two-sided markets. Extending the classical substitutes …. We show that substitutability is a necessary condition for the existence of a stable matching in a maximal-domain sense … and provide a characterization of substitutable choice functions. In addition, we extend the standard insights of matching …

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 …
