The matching efficiency of the standard matching function is known to follow a pro-cyclical pattern. An observed … rightward shift in the UK's Beveridge Curve after the Great Recession, suggests a decrease in the matching efficiency between … characteristics of unemployed, using the standard aggregate matching function. Consistent with the findings for the US (Barnichon and …

We propose a spatial search-matching model where both job creation and job destruction are endogenous. Workers are ex …

It is known that in two-sided many-to-many matching markets, pair-wise stability is not logically related with the … (weak) core, unlike in many-to-one matching markets (Blair, 1988). In this paper, we seek a theoretical foundation for …-partner matching problem that includes two-sided matching problems as special cases. Under the same preference restriction, we also …
