Behavioral multistate duration models : what should they look like?
(Discussion Papers;No. 688, Working paper, 2012)Abstract: This paper discusses how specification of probabilistic models for multistate duration data generated by individual choices should be justified on a priori theoretical grounds. Preferences are assumed represented ... -
Cash-on-Hand and the duration of job search. Quasi-experimental evidence from Norway
(Discussion Papers;679, Working paper, 2012)We identify the causal effect of lump-sum severance payments on non-employment duration in Norway by exploiting a discontinuity in eligibility at age 50. We find that a severance payment worth 1.2 months' earnings at the ... -
Do welfare-to-work initiatives work? : evidence from an activation programme targeted at social security recipients in Norway
(Discussion Papers;No. 519, Working paper, 2007)Abstract: This paper presents results from an evaluation of a Norwegian initiative to combat poverty launched in 2003. Central to the plan is a broad spectrum of rehabilitation and activation measures intended to help ... -
Dynamic choice, multistate duration models and stochastic structure
(Discussion Papers;No. 172, Working paper, 1996)An important problem in the analysis of intertemporal choice processes is how to justify the choice of mathematical structure of the transition probabilities. A related and delicate identification problem is to separate ... -
Non-parametric identication of the mixed proportional hazards model with interval-censored durations
(Discussion Papers;600, Working paper, 2009)This note presents identication results for the mixed proportional hazards model when duration data are interval-censored. Earlier positive results on identication under intervalcensoring require both parametric specication ... -
Non-parametric identification of the mixed hazards model with interval-censored durations
(Discussion Papers;No. 539, Working paper, 2008)Abstract: Econometric duration data are typically interval-censored, that is, not directly observed, but observed to fall within a known interval. Known non-parametric identification results for duration models with ... -
Time aggregation and state dependence in welfare receipt
(Discussion papers;771, Working paper, 2014-03)Dynamic discrete-choice models have been an important tool in studies of state dependence in benefit receipt. An assumption of such models is that benefit receipt sequences follow a conditional Markov process. This property ...
