We analyze state-level matching efficiencies in the Indian labor market using stochastic frontier analysis. The key … contribution of this research is the estimation of matching efficiencies at the state level because these can be used for a state …-level measure of labor market conditions. Next, we explore the relationship between the estimated matching efficiencies and …

. 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 …
