In this paper, we propose a matching model to study the efficiency of thin and thick markets. Our model shows that the … that a person can find a job is higher in a thick market than in a thin market. We apply our matching model to the U … openings and more candidates has a higher probability of matching …

. 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. We show that (i) the AMF is identified when matching is … conditionally exogenous, (ii) conditionally exogenous matching is compatible with a pairwise stable aggregate matching equilibrium …

approach is based on a game-theoretic two-sided matching model and the estimation strategy employs the method of simulated …

Matching efficiency is the productivity of the process for matching jobseekers to available jobs. Job-finding is the … output; vacant jobs and active jobseekers are the inputs. Measurement of matching efficiency follows the same principles as … measuring an index of productivity of production. We develop a framework for measuring matching productivity when the population …

workers are employed in more productive industries. The evidence confirms assortative matching can be present even when worker …

We consider a matching model of employment with wages that are flexible for new hires, but sticky within matches. We …

The search-and-matching model of the labor market fails to match two important business cycle facts: (i) a high … in the speed of technological learning and show that a search-and-matching model featuring such shocks can account for …
