The identification and estimation of a semiparametric simultaneous equation model with selectivity have been considered. The identification of structural parameters from reduced form parameters in the semiparametric model requires stronger conditions than the usual rank condition in the...

Luce's Biased Choice Model has never had a serious competitor as a model of identification data. Even when it has provided a poor model of such data, other models have done even less well. Two alternative models are presented and the three are fit to a published data set. One alternative model...

In this paper, we define dynamic and static factors and distinguish between the dynamic and static structure of asset excess returns. We examine the value-weighted market portfolio as a dynamic factor and propose an intuitively appealing procedure to search for more dynamic factors. We find...

This paper introduces a novel approach to making inference about the regression parameters in the accelerated failure time (AFT) model for current status and interval censored data. The estimator is constructed by inverting a Wald type test for testing a null proportional hazards model. A...

In the analysis of dependence of bivariate correlated failure time data, a popular model is a gamma frailty model proposed by Clayton and Oakes. An alternative approach is using a Plackett distribution, whose dependence parameter has a very appealing odds ratio interpretation for dependence...

A natural choice of time scale for analyzing recurrent event data is the ``gap" (or soujourn) time between successive events. In many situations it is reasonable to assume correlation exists between the successive events experienced by a given subject. This paper looks at the problem of...
