I identify which theoretical model (random, stock-flow, or job queuing) best describes the matching mechanism in the … information and higher inflows (especially of job offers) should facilitate matching. …

We develop a search and matching model where firms and workers are allowed to form matches (jobs) that can be formal or …

Job mobility equilibrates disparities on local labor markets and influences the efficiency of the job matching process …. In this paper, we describe a job matching model that allows for simultaneous regional and occupational mobility … occupations in distinct regions. We specify a matching function for these local labor markets with regional spillovers …

We show that in micro data, as well as in a search and matching model with endogenous separations and rigid wages …

. Moreover, it is shown that the neglect of endogenous but not observable behavior in the empirical literature on labor matching … leads to systematically biased estimates of the matching elasticities, posing a caveat on the results of previous studies … testing for constant returns of the matching function. The theoretical model presented allows to predict the direction of the …

This paper stresses the importance of a specification of the matching function in which the measure of job matches … corresponds to the measure of job searchers. In many empirical studies on the matching function this requirement has not been … market. In this paper, we specify and estimate matching functions where the flow corresponds to the correct stock.
