The Turnover of Teachers: A Competing Risks Explanation
在竞争风险框架下分析教师离职决策，使用英国教师大样本数据，发现工资和机会工资对离职有重要影响，并区分不同离职类型提供新见解。
In this paper, we analyze the decision by teachers to leave the profession in a dependent competing risks framework. The econometric model allows for a flexible, semiparametric specification of the duration-dependence structure and of the unobserved heterogeneity distribution in each exit-specific hazard function. Our results obtained for a large sample of UK teachers affirm the importance of teacher salaries and opportunity wages in the turnover decision of teachers and illustrate the insight gained from differentiating between multiple destinations or exit types. © 1999 by the President and Fellows of Harvard College and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology
