Easy estimation methods for discrete-time duration models

Article Abstract:

Duration data analyses benefit from the use of discrete-time models. However, available econometric software are usually unable to account for the sampling method used, thereby raising the probability of sample selection bias. A method for using such software in estimating discrete-time models is proposed. It involves transforming the problem into a binary dependent variable regression by rewritting complex sequence likelihood functions into a non-sequence likelihood form. The method is generalized to cases with function dependent on survival between selection and interview periods.

New men and new women? A comparison of paid work propensities from a panel data perspective

Article Abstract:

A study was conducted to extend the understanding of two stylized facts in labor market participation research from a panel data rather than a cross-sectional perspective. These stylized facts are that the proportion of working men engaged in paid work is larger than the corresponding proportion for women and that this gap between both sexes has considerably narrowed since 1976. Data from the British Household Panel Survey was used in the analysis. The study yielded two principal contributions.
