    This study offers guidance for analyzing social science event-history data that is left-truncated, particularly when prior exposure length is known. It focuses on single events, using marital dissolution data as an example.

    Area of Science:

    • Social Sciences
    • Sociology
    • Demography

    Background:

    • Event-history data in social sciences often suffer from left-truncation.
    • Left-truncation occurs when the start of the observation period precedes the start of the event's exposure.
    • Understanding and addressing left-truncation is crucial for accurate analysis of social phenomena.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To provide practical guidance for handling left-truncated event-history data.
    • To address scenarios where the duration of exposure before observation is known.
    • To illustrate methods using real-world social science data, specifically marital dissolution.

    Main Methods:

    • Focuses on methods applicable to single events, with extensions to repeated events.
    • Employs statistical techniques suitable for left-truncated data.

  • Utilizes the Panel Study of Income Dynamics (PSID) for empirical illustration.

    • Main Results:

    • Demonstrates how to effectively analyze event-history data despite left-truncation.
    • Provides a framework for incorporating known pre-observation exposure lengths.
    • Offers insights into factors influencing marital dissolution patterns.

    Conclusions:

    • The proposed methods offer a robust approach to analyzing left-truncated event-history data in social sciences.
    • Accurate handling of left-truncation, especially with known exposure durations, improves the validity of event-history analyses.
    • The study contributes practical tools for researchers dealing with common data limitations in social science research.
