Research Workshop on Industrial Organization: Search and Matching 

 

Barcelona, June 8, 2010

Workshop | Program | Coordinators | SP-SP Center |

Workshop

This research workshop is the thirteenth in a series of quarterly workshops organized by the SP-SP Center. The aim of the workshops is to bring together not only researchers who are in the Barcelona area but also researchers outside Barcelona to discuss different topics in applied microeconomics. For this edition we have selected 4 papers dealing with different implications of market frictions for the functioning of markets (in particular search and matching frictions).
