Abstract:	This dissertation comprises four self-contained chapters that address questions from very diverse fields of research, including mortality research, social interactions, international cooperation, and statistical software development. While the empirical questions covered are interdisciplinary in nature and combine the field of economics with demography as well as political science, it is the underlying common methodology that connects all chapters. Specifically, each chapter addresses or uses a multiple duration framework that belongs to the class of multivariate mixed proportional hazard models or constitutes a variation or extension of this class of models.
