Topic: Estimating Matching Games with Transfers
Speaker: Jeremy T. Fox, Rice University  

Time: Tuesday, May.24, 2:00-3:30pm
Place: Room 217, Guanghua Building 2
 

Abstract:    

I explore the estimation of transferable utility matching games, encompassing many-to-many matching, marriage and matching with trading networks (trades). I introduce a matching maximum score estimator that does not suffer from a computational curse of dimensionality in the number of agents in a matching market. I apply the estimator to data on the car parts supplied by automotive suppliers to estimate the returns from different portfolios of parts to suppliers and automotive assemblers.
