Abstract:We propose a counterfactual Kaplan-Meier estimator that incorporates exogenous covariates and unobserved heterogeneity of unrestricted dimensionality in duration models with random censoring. Under some regularity conditions, we establish the joint weak convergence of the proposed counterfactual estimator and the unconditional Kaplan-Meier (1958) estimator. Applying the functional delta method, we make inference on the cumulative hazard policy effect, that is, the change of duration dependence in response to a… Show more
