摘要: Compounding or mixture distributions provide a rich class of models for applications ranging from heterogeniety, measurement error, distribution stock returns and income to unemployment duration. Some very general mixtures are considered which include many new also unified method organizing comparing previously as well test heterogeneity. These used analyze CPS duration data. A heterogeniety interpretation the explains discrepancy between implications search theory patterns observed in aggregate Copyright 1987 by MIT Press.
