    Since the first class is early next week, I suggest you focus your attention on Achen (2005), Steenbergen & Jones (2002), and the textbook for now.

    I will post photocopies of the textbook’s chapters tomorrow.

  Event History – Chris Kam 

  C. Kam’s Event History / Survival Analysis Notes

  I will rely on the following texts and papers:

  • Box-Steffensmeier & Jones. 2004. Event History Modeling: A Guide for Social Scientists. Cambridge UP.
  • Cleves et. al. 2008.  An Introduction to Survival Analysis Using Stata, 2nd Edition.  Stata Press.
  • Kam, Christopher and Indridi Indridason. 2005. “The Timing of Cabinet Reshuffles in Five Westminster Parliamentary Systems.” Legislative Studies Quarterly XXX: 327-63.
  • The last item will be used primarily to illustrate various aspects of event history analysis.  Replication data and code can be found at http://www.politics.ubc.ca/index.php?id=9412.  (Note: this code was written under older versions of Stata; I’ll update it before the workshop.)
