Using Couple Models to Investigate the Determinants of Adult Mortality Presented: New York, NY, Population Association of America Meetings, March 1999 Cohort(s): Older Men Publisher: Population Association of America Keyword(s): Assets; Education; Modeling, Hazard/Event History/Survival/Duration; Mortality; Occupational Status; Pairs (also see Siblings); Variables, Independent - Covariate; Widows Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. This paper develops and applies models for the multivariate analysis of survival processes when observations are naturally paired. These models include bivariate survival models, paired failure models, and multistate hazard models. These models offer alternative ways of estimating effects of covariates on survival within pairs while controlling for unobserved factors shared by members of the pair. We apply these models to the assessment of socioeconomic differentials of mortality of husbands and wives in the US using the latest release version of the National Longitudinal Survey of Men. The models enable us to estimate common, cross-spouse, and within-couple effects of education, occupational status, assets and other socioeconomic determinants as well as the impact of bereavement and widowing effects. |
