Endogenous censoring in the mixed proportional hazard model with an application to optimal unemployment insurance
混合比例风险模型中的内生删失及其在最优失业保险中的应用
Summary We examine the sensitivity of estimates of the MPH model with respect to assumptions on the censoring mechanism in the context of an economic model of optimal unemployment insurance. We assume a parametric model for the duration of interest and leave the distribution of censoring unrestricted, allowing it to be correlated with observed and unobserved characteristics. We provide a practical characterization of the identified set with moment inequalities and suggest…
