Why do some incomplete information markets feature intermediaries while others do not? I study the allocation of two goods in an incomplete information setting with a single principal, multiple agents with unit demand, and interdependent valuations. I construct a novel dynamic mechanism...

We study the role of transfers in the timing of matching. In our model, some agents have the option of matching early … a stable matching after all agents arrive. We prove that without flexible transfers, as the market gets large, on … average at least one quarter of all agents in period 1 have strict incentives to match early and skip the centralized matching …
