This paper extends previous work on the identification of search models in which observed worker productivity is imperfectly observed. In particular, it establishes that these models remain identified even when employment histories are left-censored (i.e. we do not get to follow workers from...

Holst (1985) introduced a discrete spacings model that is related to the Bose-Einstein distribution and obtained the distribution of the number of vacant positions in an associated circle covering problem. We correct his expression for its probability mass function, obtain the first two moments,...

From a random sample of size n from an absolutely continuous bivariate population (X,Y) we consider two complementary (upper and lower) subsets of Y-values formed by a sorting on the basis of the corresponding X-values. We derive the finite-sample and asymptotic joint distributions of the...

We study the distributions of Y-concomitants of the X-order statistics for a special dependent sample (Xi,Yi), i=1,...,n. The dependence among the sample is due to the Xi's, which are assumed to be distributed as equally-correlated multivariate normal. The finite-sample and asymptotic...
