There is strong empirical evidence for Cobb-Douglas matching functions. We show in this paper that this widely found … underlying mechanisms. Obviously, it can be generated by assuming a Cobb-Douglas matching function. Less obvious, the same … idiosyncratic productivity can explain the observed negative time trend in estimated matching efficiency and asymmetric business …

We develop a two-sided matching model to analyze collaboration between heterogeneous academics and firms. We predict a … positive assortative matching in terms of both scientific ability and affinity for type of research, but negative assortative …
