Abstract

AbstractEconometric duration analysis has become an important part of methodology in econometrics, bringing forth a plenty of applications. The probability distribution of the duration of a time span is modelled through its conditional hazard rate given the covariates. When some of the covariates are unobservable, the duration, given the observable covariates, has a mixture distribution. The paper surveys and discusses recent developments in the specification, estimation, diagnosis and economic application of proportional hazard models with unobservables.
