aligning these blocks into a bootstrap sample. Recently, several matching schemes for the block bootstraps have been suggested … to improve its performance by reduction of bias [Bernoulli 4 (1998), 305]. The matching schemes are usually achieved by … aligning with higher likelihood those blocks which match at their ends. The kernel matching scheme we consider here takes some …

In this paper we estimate aggregate matching functions taking advantage of a rich data base that enables us to compute … observations on the variables in the matching function at (virtually) any frequency to assess the importance of the time … stock-slow matching. Finally, we assess the contribution of labour market programme participants to matching.Our evidence …

As suggested by this result, we present evidence that empirical matching functions can be interpreted as … versions of the law of motion for vacancies: the coefficients in matching functions coincide with the coefficients in the law …
