在这里,我们考虑一个匹配模型,其中代理是异类的,效用是不可转移的。我们利用这个框架来研究婚姻市场中的均衡分类是如何发生的。我们施加了保证稳态平衡点存在的条件,并对其进行了刻画。文中给出了几个例子来说明均衡的丰富性。该模型揭示了一种有趣的排序外部性,即使在匹配回报不变的情况下,也可以支持多个稳态均衡。
Here we consider a matching model where agents are heterogeneous and utilities nontransferable. We utilize this framework to study how equilibrium sorting takes place in marriage markets. We impose conditions that guarantee the existence of a steady state equihbrium and then characterize it. Several examples are developed to illustrate the richness of equilibria. The model reveals an interesting sorting externality that can support multiple steady state equilibria, even with constant returns to matching.
