Abstract

Econometric duration analysis has become an important part of methodology in econometrics, bringing forth a plenty of applications. The probability distribution of the duration of a time span is modelled through its conditional hazard rate given the covariates. When some of the covariates are unobservable, the duration, given the observable covariates, has a mixture distribution. The paper surveys and discusses recent developments in the specification, estimation, diagnosis and economic application of proportional hazard models with unobservables.

This paper estimates the demand for natural gas in Kuwait for the period 1975-93 using two models. A partial flow-adjustment model and a co-integration and error correction model. It is found that natural gas demand is inelastic with respect to price and income in the short and long run. Furthermore
