Are labor markets in higher-income countries more meritocratic, in the sense that worker-job
matching is based on skills rather than idiosyncratic attributes unrelated to productivity? If so …

We propose new results for the existence and uniqueness of a general nonparametric and
nonseparable competitive equilibrium with substitutes. These results ensure the invertibility …

This paper examines how changes in household-level risk sharing affect the marriage
market. We use as our laboratory a German unemployment insurance (UI) reform that …

In this paper, we examine matching models with imperfectly transferable utility (ITU). We
provide motivating examples, discuss the theoretical foundations of ITU matching models …

Marriage matching markets typically involve heterogenous agents participating in a
dynamic, non-stationary environment. These features pose a considerable modelling …

We use a simple structural matching model with unobserved heterogeneity to produce
counterfactual marriage patterns, and thus quantify the contribution of changes in marital …

matching between heterogeneous workers and entrepreneurs in which agents in different …
