RÉSUMÉ :  I will review a methodology for the estimation of models of matching, with a focus on family economics. The theoretical foundations, the econometrics toolbox, and some empirical results will be discussed. This talk is partly a review of the existing literature, and partly based on two new papers: 

1. https://arxiv.org/abs/2204.00362 and
2. http://humcap.uchicago.edu/RePEc/hka/wpaper/Chiappori_Fiorio_Galichon_etal_2022_assortative-matching-income.pdf.
