This paper describes a semiparametric Bayesian method for analyzing duration data. The proposed estimator specifies a … complete functional form for duration spells, but allows flexibility by introducing an individual heterogeneity term, which … follows a Dirichlet mixture distribution. I show how to obtain predictive distributions for duration data that correctly …

an auxiliary univariate single-spell duration model. The method exploits information on the timing of the treatment …

-western immigrants in Denmark who receive social assistance. We use the timing-of-events duration model and rich administrative data. We … are illustrated by calculating effects on the duration to regular employment over a five-year period. …

a complementary log-log duration model. According to both models, the probability of finding a job falls with the level …

Shared-frailty survival models specify that systematic unobserved determinants of duration outcomes are identical … within groups of individuals. We consider random-effects likelihood-based statistical inference if the duration data are …

There is little evidence on unemployment duration and its determinants in developing countries. This study is on the … duration aspect of unemployment in a developing country, Turkey. We analyze the determinants of the probability of leaving …

We estimate the effect of a shortening of unemployment benefit entitlements on unemployment duration. Previous studies … on the same or related problems have not taken into account that the competing risks duration model is not identified and … suggest an assumption on the dependence structure between risks which is milder than what conventional duration models assume …
