Union membership and age: the inverted u-shape hypothesis under test

Schnabel, Claus; Wagner, Joachim - 2008

In this note we cast some doubt on the claim put forward by David Blanchflower (2007) that the probability of being unionized follows an inverted U-shaped pattern in age with a maximum in the mid- to late 40s. By using a special test for an inverted U-shaped pattern that has not been applied to...

With or without u? : testing the hypothesis of an inverted u-shaped union membership-age relationship

Schnabel, Claus; Wagner, Joachim - In: Contemporary economics 6 (2012) 4, pp. 28-34

In this note, we apply a new test by Lind and Mehlum (2010), casting doubt on the claim proposed by Blanchflower (2007) that the probability of unionisation follows an inverted U-shaped pattern in age with a maximum in the mid- to late 40s. With this new test for an inverted U-shaped pattern,...

Inverted U Relations and Innovative Activities

Bondt, R. De; Vandekerckhove, J. - In: Competition and Regulation in Network Industries LV (2010) 3, pp. 298-309

Inverted U shaped relations are well known in the industrial organization study of innovative activities. The models that generate these predictions are typically beyond undergraduate level treatment. This short paper presents some very simple models that also generate the inverted U tendencies....
