Abstract
I propose a competing risks decomposition of the difference in the restricted mean
lifetimes of two groups, which distinguishes between the incidence and duration effects of exit
states. I use the decomposition to evaluate the effect of a cut in unemployment benefits on
unemployment durations in Ireland. Whereas the aggregate effect of the benefit cut is similar
for men and women, the decomposition reveals that the channels through which the cut affects
unemployment durations differ substantially.
