Brown, Alessio J. G.; Merkl, Christian; Snower, Dennis J. - 2009
This paper presents a theory explaining the labor market matching process through microeconomic incentives. There are … quit decisions. This approach obviates the need for a matching function.

A theory of wage adjustment under loss aversion
Ahrens, Steffen; Pirschel, Inske; Snower, Dennis J. - 2014
