We study the problem of marriage formation and marital distribution in a two-period model of matching, extending the … matching with bargaining framework of Crawford and Rochford (1986). We run simulations to find the effects of alimony rate …

optimal for the seller to do away with any matching considerations and allocate the contract on the basis of price alone. If … matching is sufficiently important to the seller, the optimal mechanism may be implemented without commitment. However, if … matching is not sufficiently important, the seller suffers a loss when he is unable to commit. The magnitude of this loss …

In many auctions, matching between the bidder and seller raises the value of the contract for both parties. However … depresses bids. The more matching matters, the greater the penalty associated with observing the matches. …

This paper develops a model of costly trade and team production to examine the matching behavior of skilled workers in … teams available for hire. Trade is shown to rationalize the matching behavior of workers, causing skill-upgrading within …

Abstract. This paper analyzes matching markets where agent types are n-vectors of characteristics--i.e. points in R …). First, given a few assumptions, I show that in the Gale-Shapley stable matching in this environment, agents match to a … consumers. Finally, I address an unanswered question in the matching literature--can multidimensional preferences be aggregated …
