Duration models with measurement error
The issue of how to think about duration models when there is measurement error in the dependent variable came up in a discussion the other day. If anyone out there in reader-land has a pointer to a paper or two on this, please post a comment or send an email.
There's a paper by Abrevaya and Hausman (http://econ-www.mit.edu/files/1041) where measurement error in the duration is treated as unobserved heterogeneity and they propose a consistent semiparametric estimator.

Hi - have you checked Daniel Gutknecht's recent working paper?

Thanks for the helpful suggestions!
