Mixed-Effects Methods for Search and Matching Research

Econometrics 2023-08-30 v1

Abstract

We study mixed-effects methods for estimating equations containing person and firm effects. In economics such models are usually estimated using fixed-effects methods. Recent enhancements to those fixed-effects methods include corrections to the bias in estimating the covariance matrix of the person and firm effects, which we also consider.
