Matching with Multiple Applications

Albrecht, James; Gautier, Pieter; Vroman, Suzan

We analyze the implications of multiple applications by job seekers for the micro-foundations of the aggregate matching function. We emphasize a coordination failure caused by multiple applications that has not been previously considered, namely, that firms can waste time and effort processing an applicant who is ultimately hired by another firm.
