A new approach to estimation of vehicle type–specific free speed distributions on multilane facilities is presented on the basis of the concept of censored observations. The original distribution-free method of Kaplan and Meier is generalized to include partially censored data, i.e., observations that are censored with a certain probability or to a certain degree. The method is applied with cross-section data collected at a busy two-lane motorway in the Netherlands. The results provide robust estimates of the speed distributions for different vehicle classes, while they remove the structural error made when more common approaches are applied.

This paper develops and illustrates the use of two methodologies to analyze the effect of unions on productivity in the public sector. Although the methodologies are applicable to a wide variety of public sector functions, the focus of the paper is on municipal libraries because of the availability of relevant data. The empirical analysis, which uses 1977 cross-section data on 260 libraries, suggests that collective bargaining coverage has not significantly affected productivity in municipal libraries.

Carter and Signorino (2010) (hereinafter “CS”) add another arrow, a simple cubic polynomial in time, to the quiver of the binary time series—cross-section data analyst; it is always good to have more arrows in one's quiver. Since comments are meant to be brief, I will discuss here only two important issues where I disagree: are cubic duration polynomials the best way to model duration dependence and whether we can substantively interpret duration dependence.
