title: Timing and duration effects in residence histories and other longitudinal data: Part 1. Stochastic and statistical models; Part 2. Studies of duration effects in Norway, 1965-1971.
abstract: The author describes an attempt to fit stochastic models to individual life histories. "In particular, [he] is concerned with the application of semi-Markov processes to the study of the timing of moves and duration of residence effects in the migration histories of Norwegian men over the period 1965-1971." In the second part of the article, the results of 11 studies using data on Norwegian men are presented
