Dynamic Directed Search

Camera, Gabriele; Kim, Jaehong - Economic Science Institute (ESI), Argyros School of … - 2015

The directed search model (Peters, 1984) is static; its dynamic extensions typically restrict strategies, often assuming price or match commitments. We lift such restrictions to study equilibrium when search can be directed over time, without constraints and at no cost. In equilibrium trade...
