another, potentially complementary, input fixed. We introduce a class of such reallocations - correlated matching rule - that … includes the status quo allocation, a random allocation, and both the perfect positive and negative assortative matching … pairwise stability concept used in the game theoretic literature on two-sided matching models with transfers. For estimation …

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 …

. Moreover, it is shown that the neglect of endogenous but not observable behavior in the empirical literature on labor matching … leads to systematically biased estimates of the matching elasticities, posing a caveat on the results of previous studies … testing for constant returns of the matching function. The theoretical model presented allows to predict the direction of the …
