Simulation Methods for Analyzing Continuous-Time Event-History Models

This research was supported in part by National Institute of Child Health and Human Development contract NO1-HD-02849. Any opinions expressed in this chapter are those of the author and do not necessarily represent the views of the Urban Institute or any of its sponsors. I have benefited from conversations with Thomas Espenshade, Charles Calhoun, and Ralph Ginsberg and from comments on earlier drafts by Christopher Winship, Nancy Tuma, and two anonymous referees. Barbara Wilson of the National Center for Health Statistics provided tabulations of unpublished marriage statistics used in the empirical analysis. The assistance of Vicki Aaronson, Jon Johnson, and Terri Murray is greatly appreciated.
