Unemployment durations are determined by a number of factors. According to mainstream economics theory, unemployment … before the spell of unemployment will experience shorter spells of unemployment than workers who had a permanent contract … before. We adopt a flexible hazard rate model with a nonparametric baseline to analyse data on unemployment spells in Germany …

This paper shows how heaping of duration data, e.g. caused by rounding due to memory effects, can be analyzed. If the data are heaped Cox's partial likelihood approach, which is often used in survival analysis, is no longer appropriate. We show how this problem can be overcome by considering the...

In this paper we analyse the effect of an Italian training program on the re-employment probability of young unemployed workers. The program consists solely of workplace training and is coordinated by employment centre, but it is fully implemented by firms. We develop a discrete duration...

This paper extends commonly used tests for equality of hazard rates in a two-sample or k-sample setup to a situation where the covariate under study is continuous. In other words, we test the hypothesis that the conditional hazard rate is the same for all covariate values, against the omnibus...

We propose Bayesian inference in hazard regression models where the baseline hazard is unknown, covariate effects are possibly age-varying (non-proportional), and there is multiplicative frailty with arbitrary distribution. Our framework incorporates a wide variety of order restrictions on...
