Does anyone know how to program the increment-decrement (markov) model of
labor
force activity using Stata. Skoog and Ciecka ("Probability mass functions for
labor market
activity induced by the markov (increment-decrement) model of labor force
activity" in
Econ Letters (2000) 77(3):425) and Ciecka, Donely, & Goldman ("A markov model
of
work-life expectancies based on labor market activity in 1997-1998" J of Legal
Econ
(Winter 1999-2000) pp33-68) give the global condition and iterations.
Any assistance would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Michael
