We extend existing estimators for duration data that suffer from non-random sample selection to allow for time …-varying covariates. Rather than a continuous-time duration model, we propose a discrete-time alternative that models the effects of … compared to those of a naive discrete duration model through Monte Carlo analysis and indicate that our estimator outperforms …

Social surveys are often used to estimate unemployment duration distributions. Survey non-response may then cause a … methodology exploits variation in the timing of the duration outcome relative to the survey moment. The results show evidence for …

parameter of interest is the expected unemployment duration. If both job separations and job accessions follow a Poisson process … duration distribution. We propose a new measure for unemployment durations (an inflow corrected stock sample measure of … unemployment duration) that can be easily calculated from stock sample data and takes account of the fact that it is primarily the …
