This paper analyzes assortative matching between employers and employees and its interrelations with the employment … matching. The correlation between both quality measures is positive. Wage gains amount up to 4% when both quality levels are … equal. In a fairly general matching model, this shape of the wage curve arises due to complementarities of qualities in the …

Based on rich administrative data from Germany, we address the differences in occupation specific job-matching …) in an occupation and the diversity of tasks in an occupation. We find that the matching efficiency improves with higher … positive or negative effects on the matching efficiency. We discuss the conditions under which the empirical results can be …

I develop an assignment model of occupations with multidimensional heterogeneity in production tasks and worker skills. Tasks are distributed continuously in the skill space, whereas workers have a discrete distribution with a finite number of types. Occupations arise endogenously as bundles of...
