چکیده
Canonical Correlation and Assortative Matching: A Remark In the context of the Beckerian theory of marriage, when men and women match on a singledimensional index that is the weighted sum of their respective multivariate attributes, many papers in the literature have used linear canonical correlation, and related techniques, in order to estimate these weights. We argue that this estimation technique is inconsistent and suggest some solutions. JEL Classification: C78, D61, C13

Assortative Matching vs. Complementarity: Which Drives the Correlation of Hours Worked by Young Couples?
This paper starts by documenting the positive correlation between annual hours worked by young husbands and wives without children. Two possible explanations for this phenomenon are assortative matching and complementarity of leisure. This paper evaluates these two possibilities jointly to determine their relative importance. I set up an individual labor supply problem for singles and a househo...
متن کاملOn the Conduciveness of Random Network Graphs for Maximal Assortative or Maximal Dissortative Matching
A maximal matching of a graph is the set of edges such that the addition of an edge to this set violates the property of matching (i.e., no two edges of the matching share a vertex). We use the notion of assortative index (ranges from -1 to 1) to evaluate the extent of similarity of the end vertices constituting the edges of a matching. A maximal matching of the edges whose assortative index is...
متن کاملAssortative Matching and Search
In Becker’s (1973) neoclassical marriage market model, matching is positively assortative if types are complements: i.e. match output f(x, y) is supermodular in x and y. We reprise this famous result assuming timeintensive partner search and transferable output. We prove existence of a search equilibrium with a continuum of types, and then characterize matching. After showing that Becker’s cond...

متن کاملThe Evolution of Fairness under Assortative Matching in Ultimatum Mini Game
This paper shows that, under assortative matching rule, the fair action can be maintained in ultimatum mini game on the evolutionary dynamics. If matching is random, then the selfish action generates higher payoff than fair action and the selfish individuals, who play rationally, are always survived on the replicator dynamics. If, however, matching is assortative, then fair responders are easy ...
