Parameter estimates comparison of earnings functions in the PSID and CPS data, 1976–2007
Gouskova, Elena - In: Economics Letters 122 (2014) 2, pp. 353-357

A General Semiparametric Approach to Inference with Marker-Dependent Hazard Rate Models
den Berg, Gerard J. van; Janys, Lena; Mammen, Enno; … - Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) - 2014
We examine a new general class of hazard rate models for survival data, containing a parametric and a nonparametric component. Both can be a mix of a time effect and (possibly time-dependent) marker or covariate effects. A number of well-known models are special cases. In a counting process...
