We examine two-sided markets where players arrive stochastically over time and are drawn from a continuum of types. The cost of matching a client and provider varies, so a social planner is faced with two contending objectives: a) to reduce players' waiting time before getting matched; and b) to...

We introduce a simple model of dynamic matching in networked markets, where agents arrive and depart stochastically, and the composition of the trade network depends endogenously on the matching algorithm. Varying the timing properties of matching algorithms can substantially affect their...

The large markets model with a continuum of agents has been a major methodological innovation for studying real-life assignment problems. In this paper I study the following question: if we sample random finite economies from a continuum economy, will the Deferred Acceptance (DA) assignment of...

Analyzing price data from sequential German electricity markets, namely the day-ahead and intraday auction, a puzzling but apparently systematic pattern of price premiums can be identified. The price premiums are highly correlated with the underlying demand profile. As there is evidence that...

We study the problem of allocating COVID-19 vaccines or other scarce and heterogeneous medical resources to patients. We develop algorithms for maximizing aggregate match-effectiveness subject to fairness and distributional constraints. Our solution uses a novel cutoff characterization result...

The effect of sorting students based on their academic performances depends not only on direct peer effects but also on indirect peer effects through teachers' efforts. Standard assumptions in the literature are insufficient to determine the effect of sorting on the performances of students and...

We develop a unified framework with schools and residential choices and study the welfare and distributional consequences of switching from the traditional neighborhood assignment to the celebrated Deferred Acceptance mechanism. We show that when families receive higher priorities at...
