Assortative Matching in the Brazilian Labor Market

Abstract

Third, we estimate the model using the proposed moments. Since the model doesn't have a closed form solution we use the simulated method of moments in order to estimate the model. Finally, with the estimated model in hand we can make counterfactual experiments to see how relevant are the consequences of sorting for inequality and efficiency. (This step is still incomplete)
