Research

Prof. Pieter Gautier's research interests center on labor economics, macroeconomics, and applied microeconomics, with a particular emphasis on how individuals and institutions are matched in markets (marriage, housing market). His work is best known for developing and applying search and matching models that explain how workers find jobs, how employers recruit employees, and how frictions in markets affect economic outcomes.

His research combines rigorous economic theory with empirical analysis to better understand how markets function and how institutional design can improve matching outcomes.
