[en] We present a generalization of Daniel Nagin’s finite mixture model that
allows non parallel trajectories for different values of covariates. We investigate
some mathematical properties of this model and illustrate its use by giving typical
salary curves for the employees in the private sector in Luxembourg between 1981
and 2006, as a function of their gender, as well as of Luxembourg’s gross domestic
product (GDP).
