Limit Order Book Dynamics in Matching Markets

Yao Wu, Westlake University

Abstract

This project studies matching markets as a microstructure system built around bid–ask spreads, liquidity droughts, and execution constraints. It formalizes matching decisions as limit-order-book executions, demonstrating that linear compensation cannot close structural preference gaps unless it induces identity collapse. A dynamic execution threshold explains settling, high-tier instant matches, and post-match regret (slippage).
