We estimate a dependent competing risks model with nonparametric specifications of the destination-specific duration dependence and unobserved heterogeneity terms. We use a unique population data set of French unemployment over the period 1988- 1994, stratified by gender type, duration class and exit state.}, keywords={unobserved heterogeneity;exit rate;hazard rate;duration dependence;nonparticipation}, }
