Conducting inference in semiparametric duration models under inequality restrictions on the shape of the hazard implied by job search theory
求职理论所隐含风险率形状不等式约束下的半参数持续期模型推断
Using a four-month panel of revised Current Population Survey data from September-December 1993, we extend the class of semiparametric hazard models of the type first studied by Prentice and Gloeckler (1978), and brought to the attention of economists by Meyer (1988, 1990), to incorporate inequality restrictions on the shape of the hazard. This extension enables us to test hypotheses regarding the shape of the hazard implied by search theory using duration data alone. These…
