Two-sided matching platforms can control and optimize over many aspects of the search for partners. To understand how … matching platforms should be designed, we introduce a dynamic two-sided search model with strategic agents who must bear a cost …

We present evidence from a randomized trial of the impact of matching workers to jobs using the deferred acceptance (DA … jobs are partitioned into over 100 distinct markets, our unit of randomization. Matching with DA reduced officers … attrition by the end of their second year. Matching with DA had precise zero effects on performance evaluations and promotions …

Does a worker's first job affect her long-run career? Do any such "first job effects" vary across workers of different types? If so, can policy improve upon a "free" labor market by altering initial matches with employers? We begin to study the impact of market design on the performance of...

This paper develops a life-cycle approach to equilibrium unemployment. Workers only differ respectively to their distance from deterministic retirement. A non age-directed search equilibrium is then typically featured by increasing (decreasing) firing (hiring) rates with age and a hump-shaped...

We analyze the impact of information frictions on workers' wages, contributing to the literature that tested search theory, which has so far focused on labor market frictions in general and not specifically on information asymmetries. Using data for 16 countries from the European Social Survey...
