Estimating Separable Matching Models

Econometrics 2022-04-04 v1

Abstract

In this paper we propose two simple methods to estimate models of matching with transferable and separable utility introduced in Galichon and Salani\'e (2022). The first method is a minimum distance estimator that relies on the generalized entropy of matching. The second relies on a reformulation of the more special but popular Choo and Siow (2006) model; it uses generalized linear models (GLMs) with two-way fixed effects.
