Matching markets research has scaled up, diversified, and built unique authorship patterns, with notable gains (and gaps) in #representation.

Thanks for reading! More in the forthcoming article 🤓

6/

#Cross-gender collaboration in matching has increased, though more slowly than in economics as a whole.

5/

#Gender representation has improved over time, but still lags the economics profession overall by about a decade.

4/

Matching research featured early and widespread #co-authorship, outpacing the rest of the profession until 2010.

#Collaboration has been foundational to the field.

3/

#Text-based clustering reveals distinct subfields emerging organically:

• Macro-labour
• Family economics
• Market design

Each has taken shape with its own dynamics.

2/

We track how research on #matching markets has evolved in #economics using text analysis of #RePEc data.

Since 1975, the share of papers on matching markets has grown 10-fold, with rising visibility in #Top-5 journals and broader representation across the discipline.
