, potentially complementary, input fixed. We introduce a class of such reallocations -- correlated matching rules -- that includes … the status quo allocation, a random allocation, and both the perfect positive and negative assortative matching …

In this paper we nonparametrically analyze the effects of reallocating individuals across social groups in the presence of social spillovers. Individuals are either 'high' or 'low' types. Own outcomes may vary with the fraction of high types in one's social group. We characterize the average...

Every year during school and college admissions, students and their parents devote considerable time and effort to acquiring costly information about their own preferences. In a market where students are ranked by universities based on exam scores, we explore ways to reduce wasteful information...

We document experimentally how biased self-assessments affect the outcome of matching markets. In the experiments, we …, or to wait for the assortative matching based on their actual relative performance. Early offers are accepted more often …

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. …

Consider the following matching mechanism: take a random draw from the `W=w_j` subgroup of the first population and match her … function (AMF), denote the expected output associated with this match.
