Modelling work history patterns in the Italian labour market

Abstract

We focus on work histories of new entrants in 1998 in the Italian labour market. For workers in the private sector, we define a standard and three non-standard history patterns. We profile the workers through a mixed-effect multinomial logit model and show that certain features may be associated with the probability of belonging to one or the other category. Furthermore, we show that there are differential effects on wages associated with non-standard patterns. A closer look at best performing non-standard workers shows that even for them an early contractual stabilization may not always be expected

Linear quantile regression models for longitudinal experiments: an overview

“…Fabrizi et al [32] evaluate wage dynamics in the Italian labor market, where the differences, for instance, among qualifications might be evaluated through marginal models. A longitudinal study on child obesity is described by Fenske et al [37], and the effects of fastfood prices on adult obesity are explored in [52].…”
