model match formation. We use German administrative labor market data to show that the matching function correlation solely … based on idiosyncratic productivity and free entry is very close to the empirical matching function. Consequently, we argue … that standard matching function estimations are seriously biased if idiosyncratic productivity plays a role for match …

There is strong empirical evidence for Cobb-Douglas matching functions. We show in this paper that this widely found … underlying mechanisms. Obviously, it can be generated by assuming a Cobb-Douglas matching function. Less obvious, the same … idiosyncratic productivity can explain the observed negative time trend in estimated matching efficiency and asymmetric business …
