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. %K unobserved heterogeneity %K exit rate %K hazard rate %K duration dependence %K nonparticipation
