Event history analysis - the study of individual life histories - has developed rapidly over the past few years. This book illustrates the use of the new techniques at the frontier of the subject. The number of surveys undertaken throughout the world to collect detailed information on the timing of events in individual lives (eg fertility surveys, migration histories) have increased, and new methods to analyse such data have developed. Unresolved technical and practical issues remain, and researchers have limited experience of the new techniques - this volume addresses these issues and provides information on the new methodologies.The book covers three main areas. First, it summarizes the work on the incorporation of unmeasured heterogeneity into the analysis of event histories; secondly, it introduces a series of 'competitions' in which pairs of teams are assigned to analyse the same topic using the same data; finally, it discusses other methodological issues such as the treatment of missing data, the analysis of current-status data, and the relation between discrete and continuous time models.
Some issues in the quantitative characterization of heterogenous populations, Kenneth Manton et al; union dissolution in Sweden, James Trussell et al; the disruption of marital and non-marital and non-marital unions in comtemporary Sweden, Britta Hoem and Jan M. Hoem; household formation and home-ownership in France, Mark Montgomery; interrelations between first home-ownership, constitution of the family and professional occupation in France, Daniel Courgeau and Eva Lelievre; progression to the third birth in Sweden, Michael Murphy; understanding third births in Sweden, James Heckman and James Walker; incomplete data in event history analysis, Roderick Little; analysis of current-status data, Ian Diamond and John McDonald; a discrete-time method for the analysis of event histories, Elja Arjas and Pekka Kangas.
'this book is extremely useful for demographers who want to apply techniques of event history analysis to their data ... The case studies illustrate very clearly a number of important problems demographers are confronted with. In addition, the book throws lights on current research frontiers for some technical issues.'Nico Keilman, Norwegian Central Bureau of Statistics, European Journal of Population 9: 1993
