We were motivated to find out whether this organisational principle extended to everyday information and for material not expl

## Abstract This paper investigates the method of matching regarding two crucial implementation choices: the distance measure and the type of algorithm. We implement optimal full matching—a fully efficient algorithm—and present a framework for statistical inference. The implementation uses data fro
