This article develops a search-theoretic model of financial intermediation to study the efficiency condition of the … banking sector. Competitive financial intermediation is determined by the search decisions of both households (to find … by banks or are bargained under a specific Hosios (1990) condition, which addresses the hold-up problem induced by search …

I show that the matching probability for guests has increased by 18% over a span of two years on the platform. I then … show that the increase in efficiency holds even when controlling for the search intensity of guests, the change in the …

We prove existence of steady-state equilibrium in a class of matching modelswith search frictions. …

This paper shows that all perfect Bayesian equilibria of a decentralized dynamic matching market with two …. Agents engage in costly search and meet randomly.

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

I examine a search model a la' Burdett and Judd (1983). Consumers are embedded in a consumers network, they may costly … search for price quotations and the information gathered are non-excludable along direct links.
