Summary
In this paper, we analyse the skills used at work, 18 to 30 months from the completion of studies, by the students who graduated at the University of Florence in the year 2000. The aim is pursued by detecting the determinants of the phenomenon with particular attention to the possible differences between study programmes. We performed two analyses: in the first, we identified homogeneous groups of degree programmes and applied a proportional odds (logistic) model for each group and a partial proportional odds model for the whole university. The second analysis was an ordered logistic model with random intercept having two levels of aggregation with the degree types as second-level units.
The idea, the structure and the setting out of the contribution are due to both the authors; the data processing and the estimate of the models have been done by S. Bacci.
