Assortative Matching of Exporters and Importers
, 2014
"... Abstract: This paper examines what determines matching of exporters and importers by investigating how matching changes in a large trade liberalization episode. In Mexican textile/apparel exports to the US, both exporters and importers concentrate more than 80 % of product-level trade with the singl ..."

-sistent with complementary-driven positive assortative matching, but not with capability-independent random matching or substitutability-driven negative assortative matching. The presence of comple-mentarity we find suggests trade liberalization improves matching of firms in supply chains as a part of within industry
The Sorting Effect of Price Competition
, 2007
"... We investigate under which conditions price competition in a market with matching frictions leads to sorting of buyers and sellers. When buyer’s search strategies are directed by the market prices offered by sellers, positive assortative matching obtains only if there is a high enough degree of co ..."

on the details of the underlying matching function that describes the search process. The condition is weaker than log-supermodularity, a condition required for positive assortative matching in markets with random search. Negative assortative matching obtains whenever the match value function is weakly
Better Workers Move to Better Firms: A Simple Test to Identify Sorting∗
, 2012
"... We propose a test that uses information on workers ’ mobility, wages and firms ’ profits to identify the sign and strength of assortative matching. The basic intuition underlying our empirical strategy is that, in the presence of positive (negative) assortative matching, good workers are more (less) ..."

2006), “Complementarity and Aggregate Implications of Assortative Matching: A Nonparametric Analysis,”Department
"... Abstract This paper presents methods for evaluating the effects of reallocating an indivisible input across production units. When the a production technology is nonseparable, such reallocations, although leaving the marginal distribution of the reallocated input unchanged by construction, may none ..."

We present a class of such reallocations -correlated matching rules -that includes the status quo allocation, a random allocation, and both the perfect positive and negative assortative matching allocations as special cases.

Group Formation
, 2012
"... A rich literature seeks to explain the distinctive features of equilibrium institutions arising in risky environments which lack formal insurance and credit markets. I develop a theory of endogenous matching between heterogeneously risk-averse individuals who, once matched, choose both the riskiness ..."

I …nd a clean condition on the fundamentals of the model for unique positive-assortative and negative-assortative matching in risk attitudes. From this, I derive an intuitive falsi

"... We develop an incentive contracting model of firm formation. Entrepreneurs of private equity firms who differ in net worth are required to borrow from institutional investors in order to finance start up projects. Investors, who differ in monitoring efficiency, may choose to monitor their borrowers ..."

Does Subsidising the Cost of Capital Really Help the Poorest? An Analysis of Saving Opportunities in Group-Lending Kumar Aniket ∗†
, 2007
"... Saving opportunities can only be offered in group-lending by re-stricting the number of borrowers in a group, thus creating intra-group competition for loans. Our model predicts that this would lead to negative assortative matching along wealth lines (the wealthy would group with poorer individuals) ..."

, 2014
"... There is an overwhelming tendency toward assortative matching on income and educa-tion on the marriage market. However, for women, greater income and education are often correlated with older age at first marriage, and therefore lower fertility. Using a bi-dimensional matching model with two factors ..."

The extent of this negative assortative matching on income depends on the returns to career investments for women, and the reduction in fertility linked to such investments. Women’s human capital investments is in turn af-fected (and potentially reduced) by these anticipated
