Hi Tobacman-- Thanks!! very much for separating this out (at one point I think it was just a redirect to the job search page). Calling it "search theory" will allow us to address many recent contributions to economic theory, relating to search for jobs, search for low prices, the distribution of prices and wages, and monetary theory. --Rinconsoleao 10:47, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Matching theory

• More recently, especially since the 1990s, many economists have been working on integrating job search into models of the macroeconomy, using a framework called 'matching theory' originally developed by Dale Mortensen and extended by Peter A. Diamond and Christopher A. Pissarides.

When is this original development supposed to have taken place? In Rotterdam, we were doing this already in the late 1970's. Guido den Broeder (talk) 22:06, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
