Using a bi-choice graph technique (Klaus and Klijn, 2009), we show that a matching for a roommate market indirectly … dominates another matching if and only if no blocking pair of the former is matched in the latter (Proposition 1). Using this … von Neumann-Morgenstern farsightedly stable if and only if the matching is stable (Theorem 1). We also present roommate …

We conduct one of the first laboratory experiments and noncooperative analyses of the de-centralized matching market … but some differ from experimental evidence. Stable matching, which coincides with efficient matching in this setting, is … core and whether efficient matching is assortative determine the rate of matching, efficient matching, and surplus achieved …

efficient matching of workers to firms. This mechanism can be thought of as operated by a recruitment agency, an employment …

This paper analyzes a decentralized search and matching economy comprised of heterogeneous agents. The paper looks at a … perfect assortative matching is the unique equilibrium in the limit economy as search frictions disappear …

In this paper, I analyze a decentralized search and matching economy with transferable utility comprised of … heterogeneous agents. I explore whether Becker's assortative matching result generalizes to an economy where agents engage in costly … joint production function) lead to assortative matching. This is in contrast to previous literature, which had shown that in …

largest one among the matchings in which no agent can be better off by itself. We show that, in the one-to-one matching model …, the number of matches in any stable matching is more than or equal to the smallest integer that is not less than half of … the benchmark number. This result is satisfied even if "stable matching" is replaced by "efficient matching". We extend …

We analyze the effects of taxation in two-sided matching markets, i.e. markets in which all agents have heterogeneous … preferences over potential partners. In matching markets, taxes can generate inefficiency on the allocative margin by changing who …. We use our equivalence to show additional properties of matching markets with taxation and to adapt existing econometric …
