Abstract

We develop a mixed proportional hazard model in discrete time when there is cross-sectional
duration dependence from social interactions. We model the cross-sectional dependence using
the weighted lagged choices of neighbors based on a proper spatial weight matrix, and nonparametrically
specify the baseline hazard and the distribution of unobserved heterogeneity.
We use EM algorithm to estimate the duration model and derive the observed information
matrix for statistical inference. Using the U.S. state-level panel data, we analyze that the
state legislation decision on the mandatory motorcycle-helmet-use law is significantly affected
by neighboring states’ choices, whereas the fatality rate from motorcycle-related accidents is
not so.
