However, since the wait time is, at least to some extent, endogenous due to the decision to appeal, and applicants with a longer application duration are more likely to have some non-observed application months due to right-censoring which may potentially create biases, we test the robustness of our results by estimating these relationships on a balanced panel.
However, homeowners – a majority (58percentt) of applicants – do seem more likely to sell their home as their application duration increases.
Table 5 presents descriptive statistics at the month of application by total application duration.
However the cooking yield of the samples decreased at the longest application duration of infrared heating.
By adding total application duration fixed effects to the model, this approach explores the changes in the use of coping strategies since application given the length of the overall application duration.
Moreover, the application duration can be too extensive to include the full version of MIA in research with big samples.
Second, we analyze the outcome Strategyit for all months of application as a function of total application duration (AW i ).
The average application duration is over 6 months, or approximately 200 days, but wait times are quite skewed to the left, as depicted by Figure 1.
With few exceptions, the association between using a coping strategy at the time of application and total application duration is largely absent (Table 7, Column 1).
We also investigate how the use of each coping strategy changes with time since application, controlling for the overall application duration using fixed effects.
The one exception is being married: a one month longer application duration is associated with an almost 0.15percentt higher probability of being married.
