Abstract: 
We prove identification of dependent competing risks models in which each risk has a mixed proportional hazard specification with regressors, and the risks are dependent by way of the unobserved heterogeneity, or frailty, components. We show that the conditions for non-parametric identification given by Heckman and Honoré(1989) can be relaxed. We generalize the results for the case in which multiple spells are observed for each subject.
