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 …

model the principal-agent economy as a two-sided matching game and characterise the set of stable outcomes of this principal …-agent matching market. A simple mechanism to implement the set of stable outcomes is proposed. Finally, we put forward examples of …

We experimentally study decentralized one-to-one matching markets with transfers. We vary the information available to … transfers. Second, incomplete information and submodularity present hurdles to efficiency and especially stability; their … combination drastically diminishes stability's likelihood. Third, matchings form "from the top down" in complete-information …

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 …
