www.princeton.edu/~honore/programs/HLprograms/final contains the data and a set of programs that can be used to generated the results presented in Honoré and Lleras-Muney: "Bounds in Competings Risks Models and the War on Cancer" . Routines better suited for adaption to other purposes can be found at www.princeton.edu/~honore/programs/HL-M

The raw data can be found in final/bodeathrates2.txt. A short explanation is given in final/Data Description.html. The hazard rates are calculated in final/create_hazard_rates.prg

The programs table2.gau and table3.gau are Gauss programs used to generate the results in Table 2 and Table 3. They call the routines utils.gau, utils1.gau and utils3.gau.(also in www.princeton.edu/~honore/programs/HLprograms/final). They also call the compiled fortran routines simplex1.so (under Linux; the source code is in simplex1.for) or sim_new.dll (under windows; the source code is in simplex1.for). utils.gau has to be modified to refelect the location of those files.

Figures 1 and 2 were generated by final/Figure1_Hazards.gau and final/Figure2_Peterson_Bound.gau.

The numbers in Tables 4 (and 4a of the Appendix) are created in the folder final/counter. The relevant program is final/counter/Table4_2006.gau. The estimation underlying Figure 4 are in the folder final/with kinks.
