A Survival Analysis Approach to the Duration of Union Membership in Italy
نویسنده
چکیده
Thanks to direct access to union databases, this paper applies survival analysis to a sample of 47,637 Italian workers trying to explain the determinants of the duration of union membership. The results show that union membership duration is a positive, though declining, function of age. Furthermore, women, flexible workers, foreign ones and those working in cities tend to show less attachment to union membership than other workers. The estimated median duration is about six years. Positive hazard duration dependence is also found. Unobserved heterogeneity is detected but it does not significantly affect model estimates.

This also allows to conceptualize union membership as a much more dynamic phenomenon than in previous studies, where it was considered a static situation whose causes or e¤ects were to be investigated. Surviva...

متن کاملARITHMETIC-BASED FUZZY CONTROL
Fuzzy control is one of the most important parts of fuzzy theory for which several approaches exist. Mamdani uses $alpha$-cuts and builds the union of the membership functions which is called the aggregated consequence function. The resulting function is the starting point of the defuzzification process. In this article, we define a more natural way to calculate the aggregated consequence funct...
متن کاملGeneral definitions for the union and intersection of ordered fuzzy multisets
Since its original formulation, the theory of fuzzy sets has spawned a number of extensions where the role of membership values in the real unit interval $[0, 1]$ is handed over to more complex mathematical entities. Amongst the many existing extensions, two similar ones, the fuzzy multisets and the hesitant fuzzy sets, rely on collections of several distinct values to represent fuzzy membershi...
