Testing for Duration Dependence with Discrete Data
We use a Monte Carlo study to examine the consequences of using continuous distribution models to test for duration dependence when the data are reported in a discrete format. This specification error leads to mistaken evidence of duration dependence for sample sizes and parameter values likely to arise in empirical studies. We present and evaluate an approach that circumvents the misspecificat...
متن کاملDiscrete Time Duration Models with Group–level Heterogeneity∗
Dynamic discrete choice panel data models have received a great deal of attention. In those models, the dynamics is usually handled by including the lagged outcome as an explanatory variable. In this paper we consider an alternative model in which the dynamics is handled by using the duration in the current state as a covariate. We propose estimators that allow for group specific effect in para...
متن کاملA Flexible Link Function for Discrete-Time Duration Models
This paper proposes a discrete-time hazard regression approach based on the relation between hazard rate models and excess over threshold models, which are frequently encountered in extreme value modelling. The proposed duration model employs a exible link function and incorporates the grouped-duration analogue of the wellknown Cox proportional hazards model and the proportional odds model as s...
متن کاملDuration dependence and dispersion in count - data models
This paper explores the relation between non-exponential waiting times between events and the distribution of the number of events in a fixed time interval. It is shown that within this framework the frequently observed phenomenon of overdispersion, i.e. a variance that exceeds the mean, is caused by a decreasing hazard function of the waiting times, while an increasing hazard function leads to...
متن کاملLagged Duration Dependence in Mixed Proportional Hazard Models
Lagged Duration Dependence in Mixed Proportional Hazard Models We study the non-parametric identification of a mixed proportional hazard model with lagged duration dependence when data provide multiple outcomes per individual or stratum. We show that the information conveyed by the within strata variation can be exploited to nonparametrically identify lagged duration dependence in more general ...
