We analyse the applicability of this estimator by means of simulations and real world unemployment duration …Many popular estimators for duration models require independent competing risks or independent censoring.

By adopting a … restriction of popular duration models such as multivariate mixed proportional hazards. It is shown that the dependence structure …
