Matching and Inequality in the World Economy (2010, background): “On the one hand, authors including Becker (1973), Heckman and Honore (1990), Shimer and Smith (2000), Legros and Newman (2002, 2007), and Eeckhout and Kircher (2010) offer general results focusing on crosssectional predictions, such as sufficient conditions for positive assortative matching to…”
Selection into Trade and Wage Inequality (2014, background): “See Sattinger (1979) for the competitive labor market case, Shimer and Smith (2000) for a model with search based labor market frictions, and Antràs, Garicano, and Rossi-Hansberg (2006) for an open economy application.”
Assortative Matching with Explicit Search Costs (2006, background): “Since s (x, y) = 4The statement is identical to Proposition 3 in Shimer and Smith (2000), where a proof can be found. f (x, y) − v (x) − v (x), if we assume that f (x, y) is symmetric and strictly supermodular, then so is the surplus function s (x, y).”
Matching, Search, and Heterogeneity (2001, background): “Shimer and Smith (2000a) prove the existence of an equilibrium in a closely related model.”

Making Yourself Attractive: Pre-Marital Investments and the Returns to Education in the Marriage Market (2012, background): “It also renders the setting of Shimer and Smith (2000) much more complex and is thus not explored here.”

Stability and Preference Alignment in Matching and Coalition Formation (2010, background): “…sorting on exogenous productivity types, where Becker (1973) and the subsequent literature established supermodularity-type conditions that ensure that agents sort monotonically in their types (see, for instance, Shimer and Smith (2000), Legros and Newman (2007), and Eeckhout and Kircher (2010)).”
The Informational Content of Surnames, the Evolution of Intergenerational Mobility and Assortative Matin (2015, background): “Examples of more fully-articulated assignment mechanisms are in Becker (1973), Gavilán (2012), Kremer and Maskin (1995), Marimon and Zilibotti (1999) and Shimer and Smith (2000).”

Fatter Attraction: Anthropometric and Socioeconomic Matching on the Marriage Market (2012, positive): “Following the seminal, theoretical contribution by Shimer and Smith (2000), several empirical contributions (Choo and Siow, 2006; Chiappori, Salanié and Weiss, 2010) introduce randomness into the matching process, to account for the deviations from perfectly assortative matching that characterize…”
