Interviewing and Dating in Two-Sided Matching Markets: Coordination and Communication (joint with M. Schwarz)
Description
We introduce the interview assignment problem, which generalizes the one-to-one matching model of Gale Shapley (1962) by including a stage of costly information acquisition. Agents do not know their preferences over potential partners unless they choose to conduct costly interviews. Our analysis is used to motivate new and explain existing coordinating and communication mechanisms prevalent in markets with interviewing.
