Summary
The main goal of the present paper is the analysis of the working position of graduates using multilevel and chain graph models, extended to the case of correlated data. After a brief introduction to multilevel modelling and a description of the conditional independence implied by the model, we describe chain graphs for multilevel models. The model put forward can analyse the factors influencing the graduates’ job position, using the data collected on students of the University of Florence who graduated in the year 2000.
