Summary In this paper, we consider estimation of dynamic models of recurrent events (event histories) in continuous time using censored data. We develop maximum simulated likelihood estimators where missing data are integrated out using Monte Carlo and importance sampling methods. We allow for random effects and integrate out this unobserved heterogeneity using a quadrature rule. In Monte Carlo experiments, we find that maximum simulated likelihood estimation is practically…

This paper develops a specification test for functional form for models identified by a conditional moment restriction, including IV and GMM settings. The framework is one where the moment restriction is specified as a function of data, a finite-dimensional parameter vector and a non-parametric function (an infinite-dimensional parameter vector). The null hypothesis is that the moment restriction does not depend on the non-parametric function. The test is relatively easy to…

This research develops a semiparametric kernel-based estimator of hazard functions which does not assume proportional hazards. The maintained assumption is that the hazard functions depend on regressors only through a linear index. The estimator permits both discrete and continuous regressors, both discrete and continuous failure times, and can be applied to right-censored data and to multiple-risks data, in which case the hazard functions are risk-specific. The estimator is…

This paper develops semiparametric kernel-based estimators of risk-specific hazard functions for competing risks data. Both discrete and continuous failure times are considered. The maintained assumption is that the hazard function depends on explanatory variables only through an index. In contrast to existing semiparametric estimators, proportional hazards is not assumed. The new estimators are asymptotically normally distributed. The estimator of index coefficients is…
