I am currently looking for a similar model. Did you ever find some references? The closest I could come to is A three state model of worker flows in general equilibrium (Krusell, Mukoyama, Rogerson, Sahin), but they fail to include a matching function.

Search and matching models are fairly standard in macroeconomics. I guess this is fair to say since [Peter Diamond, Dale Mortensen, and Christopher Pissarides won the Nobel prize in 2010](https://www.nobelprize.org/prizes/economic-sciences/2010/press-release/). These are the names behind the canonical DMP model that most graduate students have to study in their first year.
