A Simple Procedure for the Evaluation of Treatment Effects on Duration Variables

Abbring, Jaap H.; van den Berg, Gerard J. - 2003

Often, a treatment and the outcome of interest are characterized by the moment they occur, and these moments are realizations of stochastic processes with dependent unobserved determinants. We develop a simple and intuitive method for inference on the treatment effect. The method can be...

Bellmann, Lutz; Bender, Stefan; Hornsteiner, Ulrich - 2000

Based on theoretical models of job mobility this paper provides an empirical analysis of job durations in West Germany using information from two cohorts of new entrants to the labor force. We adopt an accelerated failure time model allowing for unobserved heterogeneity. Thereby we combine the...
