This paper provides a mathematical foundation for independent random matching of a large population, as widely used in … the economics literature. We consider both static and dynamic systems with random mutation, partial matching arising from … search, and type changes induced by matching. Under independence assumptions at each randomization step, we show that there …

We take cohorts of entering freshmen at the United States Air Force Academy and assign half to peer groups with the goal of maximizing the academic performance of the lowest ability students. Our assignment algorithm uses peer effects estimates from the observational data. We find a negative and...

Spatial differences in labor market performance are large and highly persistent. Using data from the United States, Germany, and the United Kingdom, we document striking similarities in spatial differences in unemployment, vacancies, job finding, and job filling within each country. This robust...

This paper studies how well a search and matching model can describe aggregate Japanese labor market dynamics in a full … information setting. We develop a discrete-time search and matching model with productivity and separation shocks and use it as a … and vacancy postings in Japan. We find that the model is successful in matching the volatility in unemployment and …

Stable matchings may fail to exist in the roommate matching problem, both when utility is transferable and when it is … not. We show that when utility is transferable, the existence of a stable matching is restored when there is an even … individuals of any given type is large enough there always exist quasi-stable matchings: a stable matching can be restored with …

This paper explores rich longitudinal data to gain a better understanding of the importance of spatial mismatch in lower-paid workers’ job search. The data infrastructure at our disposal allows us to investigate the impact on a variety of job search-related outcomes of localized and...
