Research Abstract	We extend Yamaguchi’s (1986) fixed effects maximum likelihood(FEML) estimator to the proportional hazard model (PHM) with a flexibly parametricbaseline hazard similar to the one proposed by Han and Hausman (1990) and Meyer(1990). We use the method to estimate a job duration model for young men in the U.S.,and show that failure to account for unobserved fixed effect causes negative schoolingeffects to be downward biased.
