We investigate a canonical search-theoretic model without entry. Two agents are randomly matched with a long side being …

the extent of multiplicity hinges on the frequency of search. Holding fixed the average number of meetings over time, we … vary search frequency by altering the interval between search opportunities. To isolate the role of search frequency, we …, strategies, and dynamic paths consistent with equilibrium. Indexed by these features, as search frequency increases the set of …

Under independence assumptions at each randomization step, we show that there …This paper provides a mathematical foundation for independent random matching of a large population, as widely used in … the economics literature. We consider both static and dynamic systems with random mutation, partial matching arising from …

Matching markets can be unstable when individuals prefer to be matched to a partner who also wants to be matched with … preferences exist, significantly decrease stability in matching markets, and are driven both by belief-based and preference …

The paper surveys the experimental literature on matching markets. It covers house allocation, school choice, and two …-sided matching markets such as college admissions. The main focus of the survey is on truth-telling and strategic manipulations by … the agents, on the stability and efficiency of the matching outcome, as well as on the distribution of utility. …
