Non-parametric identification of the mixed hazards model with interval-censored durations

Econometric duration data are typically interval-censored, that is, not directly observed, but observed to fall within a known interval. Known non-parametric identification results for duration models with unobserved heterogeneity rely crucially on exact observation of durations at a continuous scale. Here, it is established that the mixed hazards model is non-parametrically identified through covariates that vary over time within durations as well as between observations when durations are interval-censored. The results hold for the mixed proportional hazards model as a special case.

Om Discussion Papers

Discussion papers comprise research papers intended for international journals and books. A preprint of a Discussion Paper may be longer and more elaborate than a standard journal article as it may include intermediate calculations, background material etc.
