Steady state equilibria in heterogeneous agent matching models with search frictions have been shown to exist in Shimer … and Smith (2000) under the assumption of a quadratic search technology. We extend their analysis to the commonly … investigated linear search technology. …

This paper considers a frictional market where buyers and sellers, with unit demand and supply, search for trading … opportunities. The analysis focuses on explicit search frictions, allows for two-sided incomplete information, and puts no … restriction on agent heterogeneity. In this context, a non-trivial, full trade search equilibrium is shown to exist, equilibria …

private information. Agents engage in costly search and meet randomly. The terms of trade are determined through a Bayesian … mechanism proposal game. The paper considers a market in steady state. As discounting and the fixed cost of search become small …

option to buy via search or return to bargaining. Here many buyers choose a bargaining agreement when a search outcome is … predicted. For those who opt out, search outcomes are overall efficient and behavior is relatively close to the optimal search …

I examine a search model a la' Burdett and Judd (1983). Consumers are embedded in a consumers network, they may costly … search for price quotations and the information gathered are non-excludable along direct links. This allows me to explore the … effect of endogenous consumers externalities on market functioning. I first show that when search costs are low consumers …

This paper builds a consumer search model where the cost of going back to stores already searched is explicitly taken … into account. We show that the optimal search rule under costly recall is very different from the optimal search rule under … perfect recall. Under costly recall, the optimal search behaviour is nonstationary and, moreover, the reservation price is not …
