Abstract: The test of destination independence proposed by Ginsberg is reexamined. The original derivation of the test requires untestable assumptions about latent failure times. It is shown that these assumptions are unnecessary, although some reservations are expressed as to the utility of the test in social science applications. An alternative formulation is proposed which provides more readily interpretable results. The use of this revised test is illustrated by an application to second home tenure sojourn times.
