When to broaden, when to focus : job search and market tightness

Klaeui, Jeremias - 2026

This paper investigates whether directing job search toward tight labor markets improves re-employment. Such targeting is theoretically attractive as it reduces aggregate congestion. I link Swiss unemployment records to clickstream search data to measure which markets jobseekers target. To...

Match stability with a costly and flexible number of positions

Gilmore, James; Porter, David - 2025

One of the main goals of two-sided matching mechanisms is to pair two groups of agents in a stable manner. Stability means that no pair of agents has an incentive to deviate from their assigned match. The outcome of such a match can have significant consequences for the participants involved....

College as a marriage market

Kirkebøen, Lars J.; Leuven, Edwin; Mogstad, Magne; … - 2025

College graduates tend to marry each other. We use detailed Norwegian data to show that strong assortativity further arises by institution and field of study, especially among high earners from elite programs. Admission discontinuities reveal that enrollment itself, rather than selection,...

Analyzing matching patterns in marriage : theory and application to Italian data

Chiappori, Pierre-André; Ciscato, Edoardo; Guerriero, Carla - 2024

Social scientists have long been interested in marital homogamy and its relationship with inequality. However, measuring homogamy is not straightforward, particularly when one is interested in assessing marital sorting based on multiple traits. In this paper, we argue that Separate Extreme Value...
