A Random Matching Theory, C. D. Aliprantis, Gabriele Camera, D. Puzzello

Economics Faculty Articles and Research

We formalize the mechanics of matching, and study the links between properties of the different processes and trade frictions. A particular emphasis is placed on providing a mapping between matching technologies and informational constraints.
