Rosholm, Michael; Svarer, Michael - 2001

In this paper, we specify and estimate a structurally dependent competing risks model for the transitions out of unemployment into either new job or recall. The recall probability is allowed to affect the search intensity for new jobs.

Dependence measures in bivariate gamma frailty models

Berg, Gerard J. van den; Effraimidis, Georgios - 2014

Bivariate duration data frequently arise in economics, biostatistics and other areas. In "bivariate frailty models", dependence between the frailties (i.e., unobserved determinants) induces dependence between the durations. Using notions of quadrant dependence, we study restrictions that this...

Immigrants' wage growth and selective out-migration

Bijwaard, Govert; Wahba, Jackline - 2014

This paper examines immigrant wage growth taking into account selective out-migration using administrative data from the Netherlands. We also take into account the potential endogeneity of the immigrants' labor supply and their out-migration decisions on their earning profiles using a correlated...

Identification of the timing-of-events model with multiple competing exit risks from single-spell data

Drepper, Bettina; Effraimidis, Georgios - 2015

This note describes how the (single-spell) identification result of the timing-of-events model by Abbring and Van den Berg (2003b) can be extended to a model that accommodates several competing exit risks. The extended model can be used for example to distinguish between the different effects of...

Unemployment duration : competing and defective risks

Addison, John T.; Portugal, Pedro - 2001

This paper examines the determinants of unemployment duration in a competing risks framework with two destination states, namely, inactivity and employment. The major innovation is our recognition of defective risks. We first use a polynomial hazard function to test for the presence of...

Do high-income or low-income immigrants leave faster?

Bijwaard, Govert; Wahba, Jackline - 2013

We estimate the impact of the income earned in the host country on return migration of labor migrants from developing countries. We use a three-state correlated competing risks model to account for the strong dependence of labor market status and the income earned. Our analysis is based on...

Survival, growth, and interfirm collaboration of start-up companies in high-technology industries : a case study of Upper Bavaria

Hampe, Johannes; Steininger, Martin - 2001

Our analysis of the survival of firms leads to the important result that the hypotheses about differences between various industries in the life duration of new firms and about the importance of the region of location for the probability of survival are confirmed. Many more enterprises are...

Economic conditions at birth, birth weight, ability, and the causal path to cardiovascular mortality

Berg, Gerard J. van den; Modin, Bitte - 2013

We analyze interaction effects of birth weight and the business cycle at birth on individual cardiovascular (CV) mortality later in life. In addition, we examine to what extent these long-run effects run by way of cognitive ability and education and to what extent those mitigate the long-run...

A unique bond : twin bereavement and lifespan associations of identical and fraternal twins

Berg, Gerard J. van den; Drepper, Bettina - 2018

Empirical analyses of twin mortality often use models with dependent unobserved frailty terms capturing genetic and childhood environmental determinants. This ignores that mortality rates can be co-dependent due to bereavement effects, i.e. to a time-dependent causal effect of the loss of the...

Understanding the mechanisms linking college education with longevity

Hong, Kai; Savelyev, Peter A.; Tan, Kegon T.K. - 2020

We go beyond estimating the effect of college attainment on longevity by uncovering the mechanisms behind this effect … longevity is well explained by observed mechanisms. Furthermore, we find that for women, the positive effect of education on … longevity has been historically masked by the negative effect of education on marriage. An adjustment for the relationship …
