Matching Market (Two-Sided Market)
A matching market, also known as a two-sided market, facilitates interactions between two distinct groups where participants care about the specific identity of their counterpart. In these markets, members of each group have different characteristics, and they benefit from finding a particular match on the other side. Key examples include the labour market, where firms and workers seek a specific fit, and the 'marriage market,' where individuals search for a compatible partner.
