The Econometrics and Some Properties of Separable Matching Models
@article{Galichon2017TheEA, title={The Econometrics and Some Properties of Separable Matching Models}, author={Alfred Galichon and Bernard Salani'e}, journal={The American Economic Review}, year={2017}, volume={107}, pages={251-255} }
We present a class of one-to-one matching models with perfectly transferable utility. We discuss identification and inference in these separable models, and we show how their comparative statics are readily analyzed.

Several recent papers have analyzed matching markets under the dual assumption of perfectly transferable utility and a separable joint surplus. Separability rules out any contribution to the joint…

We investigate a model of one-to-one matching with transferable utility when some of the characteristics of the players are unobservable to the analyst. We allow for a wide class of distributions of…
Labeling Dependence in Separable Matching Markets

Independence of irrelevant alternatives (IIA) has been much studied in single-agent decision problems. We explore its extension to models of two-sided choice and perfectly transferable utility. We…

In many economic contexts, agents from the same population team up to better exploit their human capital. In such contexts (often called “roommate matching problems”), stable matchings may fail to…

This work compares MPEC with the Nested Fixed-Point (NFXP) algorithm—a well-received method in the literature of structural estimation—and finds that MPEC is more robust than NFXP in terms of convergence and solution quality.

Implementing Maximum Likelihood Estimation of Empirical Matching Models: MPEC versus NFXP
- Computer Science
- 2017
This work proposes two Mathematical Programming with Equilibrium Constraints (MPEC) formulations: the MPEC-Sparse and theMPEC-Dense to estimate a class of separable matching models that are more robust than NFXP in terms of convergence and solution quality.
