Two-sided matching platforms can control and optimize over many aspects of the search for partners. To understand how … matching platforms should be designed, we introduce a dynamic two-sided search model with strategic agents who must bear a cost … that, in many settings, the platform can mitigate wasted search effort by imposing suitable restrictions on agents. In …

. 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. We use …
