This paper presents a theory explaining the labor market matching process through microeconomic incentives. There are … quit decisions. This approach obviates the need for a matching function. On this theoretical basis, we argue that the … matching function is vulnerable to the Lucas critique. Our calibrated model for the U.S. economy can account for important …

This paper deals with empirical matching functions. The paper is innovative in several ways. First, unlike in most of … the existing literature, matching functions are estimated not only on aggregate, but also on disaggregate levels which is …

We analyze a general search model with on-the-job search and sorting of heterogeneous workers into heterogeneous jobs … rate of 4-6%. We find that without search frictions, output would be between 7.5% and 18.5% higher, depending on whether or …

This paper tests whether aggregate matching is consistent with unemployment being mainly due to search frictions or due … to job queues. Using U.K. data and correcting for temporal aggregation bias, estimates of the random matching function … are consistent with previous work in this field, but random matching is formally rejected by the data.
