Abstract: This paper considers nonparametric identification of "latent" competing risks and Roy duration models in which one does not know which process has been observed. It is shown that these models are identifiable without the usual conditional independence and exclusion restrictions. These results can be applied to many retirement and aging decisions including: time to retirement between spouses, financial planning, and health related retirement decisions.
