Nonlinear discrete-time hazard models for women's entry into marriage

We propose a hazard model for entry into marriage, based on bell-shaped function to the dependence age. demonstrate near-aliasing in an extension that estimates support of and mitigate this via re-parameterization. Our proposed parameterizes maximum corresponding age, thereby facilitating more general models where these features depend covariates. For data women's marriages from Living Ireland Surveys 1994–2001, approach captures reduced propensity marry over successive cohorts increasing delay timing marriage with education.
