A high wage replacement rate in the low wage sector seems to considerably elongate the duration of unemployment …

Early … introduction of a soft constraint appears particularly effective; our results show that the expected unemployment duration falls by …

In this article we propose and implement an instrumental variable estimation procedure to obtain treatment effects on … duration outcomes. The method can handle the typical complications that arise with duration data of time-varying treatment and … Generalized Accelerated Failure Time (GAFT) model. The GAFT model encompasses two competing approaches to duration data; the …
