Competing Risks of Mortgage Termination • Mortgage Termination by Refinance • Green and Shoven (1986) • Hendershott and Van Order (1987) • Schwartz and Torous (1989) • Kau and Keenan (1995), Kau et al (1992)(1995) • Stanton (1994) • Archer, Ling and McGill (1996) • Caplin, Freeman and Tracy (1997) • Peristiani et al. (1997) • Deng, Quigley and Van Order (2000) • Downing, Stanton and Wallace (2001)
Competing Risks of Mortgage Termination • Mortgage Termination by Household Mobility • Quigley and Weinberg (1977) • Quigley (1987) • Brueckner (1992)(1994) • Clapp, Harding and LaCour-Little (2001) • Clapp, Goldberg, Harding and LaCour-Little (2001) • Pavlov (2001)
Competing Risks of Mortgage Termination • Mortgage Termination by Default • Foster and Van Order (1984) • Dunningham and Hendershott (1984) • Epperson, Kau, Keenan and Muller (9185) • Van Order and Zorn (1993) • Kau, Keenan and Kim (1993)(1994) • Lekkas, Quigley and Van Order (1994) • Vandell (1993)(1995) • Deng, Quigley and Van Order (1996) • Kau and Keenan (1999)
Alternative Models for Competing Risks of Mortgage Termination • Multinomial Logit Model (MNL) • Campbell and Dietrich (1983) • Cunningham and Capone (1990) • Arch, Ling and McGill (1996) • Clapp, Goldberg, Harding and LaCour-Little (2001) • Calhoun and Deng (2002)
Alternative Models for Competing Risks of Mortgage Termination • Cox Partial Likelihood Model (CPL) • Green and Shoven (1986) • Quigley, Van Order and Deng (1993) • Clapp, Goldberg, Harding and LaCour-Little (2001) • Pavlov (2001)
Alternative Models for Competing Risks of Mortgage Termination • Full Information Competing Risks Hazard Model (FICH) • Schwartz and Torous (1989) • Single risk model without unobserved heterogeneity • Deng, Quigley and Van Order (2000) • Mass-point mixture hazard model with competing risks • Deng and Quigley (2001) • Simulated Maximum Likelihood Estimation (SMLE) for competing risks hazard model with continuous distribution of unobserved heterogeneity
Our Plan • Extend the DQV (2000) two competing risks framework to three competing risks of mortgage termination by refinance, move and default • Examine the role of unobserved heterogeneity using a Mass-Point Mixture Multinomial Logit specification • Comparable to DQV (2000) Mass-Point Mixture Hazard Model with Competing Risks • Compare the performance of alternative models in terms of out-of-sample predictive ability
Discrete Cox Proportional Hazard Model • Cox Proportional Hazard Function • Cox Partial Likelihood Function
Log Likelihood Function ofMass-Point Mixture Multinomial Logit Model
