The identifiability of independent competing risks models with multiple spells
Article Abstract:
A study was conducted on the identifiability of models of independent competing risks with multiple spells given their popularity in the analysis of economic duration data. A multiple-spell version of an independent competing risks model in which there is a single observation for each of N spells per individual is presented. In this version, the number of individuals and the number of spells per individual are not important, provided the incidence of spells is random.

Potential unemployment benefit duration and spell length: lessons from a quasi-experiment in Austria
Article Abstract:
A study was conducted on the effect of potential unemployment benefit duration on the length of unemployment spells in Austria. Empirical analysis indicates that men react significantly to benefit duration unlike women. Higher impacts for men and women were found for long unemployment spells. However, the results did not indicate any unemployment-prolonging effects for short unemployment spells.
