We show that in a search/matching model with endogenous participation in which workers are heterogeneous with respect …

matching and a variety of methods using propensity score matching. In each case, we consider estimates based on levels of post … propensity score matching is generally most effective, but the detailed implementation of the method is not of critical …

This paper introduces an innovative test of search and matching models using the exogenous variation available in … experiment. We then simulate a program group from a randomized experiment within the model. As a measure of the performance of … the model, we compare the outcomes of the program groups from the model and from the randomized experiment. We illustrate …

This paper introduces an innovative test of search and matching models using the exogenous variation available in … experimental data. We take an off-the-shelf Pissarides matching model and calibrate it to data on the control group from a … randomized social experiment. We then simulate a program group from a randomized experiment within the model. As a measure of the …
