“…However, it seems that the β parameters are not very sensitive to the omission of unobserved random effects as long as the random effects are uncorrelated with the explanatory variables and flexible duration dependence is allowed. This result is confirmed by several empirical findings, see Trussell and Richards (1985) and Dolton and Van der Klaauw (1995). Notice that the distribution of the timing at first motherhood can be defective if there are women who decide to remain childless.…”

Established in 1989 to identify, explain, model and forecast social change in Britain at the individual and household level, the Centre specialises in research using longitudinal data. Terms of use: Documents in EconStor may• ESRC UK Longitudinal Centre. This national resource centre was established in October 1999 to promote the use of longitudinal data and to develop a strategy for the future of large-scale longitudinal surveys. It was responsible for the British Household Panel Survey (BHPS) and for the ESRC's interest in the National Child Development Study and the 1970 British Cohort Study• European Centre for Analysis in the Social Sciences. ECASS is an interdisciplinary research centre which hosts major research programmes and helps researchers from the EU gain access to longitudinal data and cross-national datasets from all over Europe.The British Household Panel Survey is one of the main instruments for measuring social change in Britain. The BHPS comprises a nationally representative sample of around 5,500 households and over 10,000 individuals who are reinterviewed each year. The questionnaire includes a constant core of items accompanied by a variable component in order to provide for the collection of initial conditions data and to allow for the subsequent inclusion of emerging research and policy concerns.Among the main projects in ISER's research programme are: the labour market and the division of domestic responsibilities; changes in families and households; modelling households' labour force behaviour; wealth, well-being and socio-economic structure; resource distribution in the household; and modelling techniques and survey methodology.BHPS data provide the academic community, policymakers and private sector with a unique national resource and allow for comparative research with similar studies in Europe, the United States and Canada.BHPS data are available from the Data Archive at the University of Essex http://www.data-archive.ac.ukFurther information about the BHPS and other longitudinal surveys can be obtained by telephoning +44 (0) 1206 873543. ABSTRACTAge at motherhood has increased in most European Countries in the past decades. The main aim of this paper is to assess the impact of women's education and work experience on the timing of first birth across the European Union (EU).According to the literature -based on income maximisation framework (Gustafsson 2001, Hotz et al. 1997) -w...

“…In particular, the literature has focused on the choice of shape of the hazard function and on the choice of the distribution for the unobserved heterogeneity. The results from several papers (for example, Dolton and van der Klaauw 1995;Meye, 1990 andTrussell andRichards 1985) have suggested that if a flexible specification for the baseline hazard function is used (like the piecewise constant that we use in this paper), then the magnitude of the biases in the non-heterogeneity model are reduced. Table 2 displays the estimates for the different specifications of the hazard function, with and without control for unobserved heterogeneity.…”
