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 investigate how job displacement affects whom men marry and study implications for marriage market matching theory … substitutes rather than complements in the marriage market; (ii) our findings are hard to reconcile with one-dimensional matching … if matched with low-earning women and to re-match with higher earning women. We use a general search and matching model …

Matching mechanisms are regarded as an important instrument to bring about Pareto optimal allocations in a public good … interior matching equilibrium, however, emerges only under very special conditions.

Stable matchings may fail to exist in the roommate matching problem, both when utility is transferable and when it is … not. We show that when utility is transferable, the existence of a stable matching is restored when there is an even … individuals of any given type is large enough there always exist "quasi-stable" matchings: a stable matching can be restored with …

frictions and the fact that physical appearance plays an important role in attracting a marriage partner. We analyse the … interaction between frictional labour and marriage markets and establish the existence of a search equilibrium characterised by … male wage differentials. The equilibrium may also display the "marriage premium". predicted to be lower among attractive …

We present an equilibrium model of inter-linked frictional labour and marriage markets. In the marital market, men and … (initiated by women) is an option, in an equilibrium with male marriage premium married men have a higher reservation wage than …
