‘Increase in R2’ denotes the difference between the R2 obtained when estimating a model with a non-
constant hazard and the
R2 when imposing a constant hazard, in both cases using the methodology in CE
(1993). ‘Sim. Quadr. Adj.’ stands for ‘Simulated Quadratic Adjustment’.

aThis value of ρ is somewhat below both the value in the driving force used in CE and the values used when
calibrating RBC models (see Cooley and Prescott, 1995).
