Consider Becker's 1973 classic matching model, with unobserved fixed types and stochastic publicly observed output. If … types are complementary, then matching is assortative in the known Bayesian posteriors (the 'reputations'). We discover a … robust failure of Becker's result in the simplest dynamic two type version of this world. Assortative matching is generally …

We introduce the notion of expectational equilibrium in a very general specification of the many-to-one matching with …

A large literature uses matching models to analyze markets with two-sided heterogeneity, studying problems such as the … matching of students to schools, residents to hospitals, husbands to wives, and workers to firms. The analysis typically … matching problems with one-sided asymmetric information. The key conceptual problem is to formulate a notion of a blocking pair …

This paper compares pre-commitment investment strategy in a linear public goods game using two different matching … protocols: assortative and random matching. We express the payoff function as an investment decision in which players pre … assortative matching treatment is remarkably high and is close to 90 percent of the initial endowment, when compared to the random …

's matching model of unemployment. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first attempt that has been made to implement and … systematically compare these solutions in search-matching economies. Our results are twofold. First from the theoretical …/methodological viewpoint, we extend a somewhat flexible search-matching economy to alternative bargaining solutions. In particular, we prove …
