Add the cost of more mathematical machinery, one gets much more powerful results in the paper: Podczeck, Konrad, and Daniela Puzzello. "[Independent random matching](https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00199-010-0584-4)." Economic Theory 50.1 (2012): 1-29.

<p>The title says all. I need papers or textbooks that explain in detail (step by step, maybe showing some canonical results) how I can model random matching games. Does anyone have a reference?</p>
<p>Thank you.</p>

That title does not say it all. Can you give a bit more indication of the kind of models you want to learn? There are very different models that one might describe as random matching models.
