What is Matching with Transfers: The Economics of Love and Marriage (The Gorman Lectures in Economics) about?

Over the past few decades, matching models, which use mathematical frameworks to analyze allocation mechanisms for heterogeneous products and individuals, have attracted renewed attention in both theoretical and applied economics. These models have been used in many contexts, from labor markets to organ donations, but recent work has tended to focus on "nontransferable" cases rather than matching models with transfers. In this important book, Pierre-André Chiappori fills a gap in the literature by presenting a clear and elegant overview of matching with transfers and provides a set of tools that enable the analysis of matching patterns in equilibrium, as well as a series of extensions. He then applies these tools to the field of family economics and shows how analysis of matching patterns and of the incentives thus generated can contribute to our understanding of long-term economic trends, including inequality and the demand for higher education. ** Review "With Matching with Transfers, Chiaporri provides a valuable contribution and summary of the matching and family economics literature." ---Scott Alan Carson, *Journal of Economic and Social Thought * "A unique blend of theory w
