We prove existence of steady-state equilibrium in a class of matching models with search frictions. …

strategically choose a certain signal. Introducing cheap talk to a model of sequential search with bargaining, we find that signals …When agents do not know where to find a match, they search. However, agents could direct their search to agents who …-crossing property and sorting condition coincide. As the information from signals allows agents to avoid all unnecessary search, this …

This paper builds a consumer search model where the cost of going back to stores already searched is explicitly taken … into account. We show that the optimal search rule under costly recall is very different from the optimal search rule under … perfect recall. Under costly recall, the optimal search behaviour is nonstationary and, moreover, the reservation price is not …

In a two-sided search market agents are paired to bargain over a unit surplus. The matching market serves as an … endogenous outside option for a bargaining agent. Behavioral agents are commitment types that demand a constant portion of the …, there is one-sided reputation building in bargaining, and commitment types on the short side determine the terms of trade …

consistent with these facts. In this theory, search and bargaining with incomplete information generates stickiness in the … place low value on the unit search elsewhere and leave. Landlords with one unit loathe vacancy and offer tenants the … identical contract to pre-empt search; only those who really hate the unit leave …

This paper analyzes fairness and bargaining in a dynamic bilateral matching market. Traders from both sides of the … market are pairwise matched to share the gains from trade. The bargaining outcome depends on the traders’ fairness attitudes … in isolated bilateral bargaining. …
