I was reading about the "cohort effect" and wanted to know more info, and was surprised that Wikipedia didn't have an article about it. After a long search and after writing a stub - I finally found the article on a "cohort study" which is an method by which the cohort effect may be scientifically observed.
I thought it was a good idea to leave something about this effect - with a link to the method of studying it - in case someone was looking.
I'm not sure it makes sense to have it as its own article though. Probably one should link to the other - with a mention in "cohort study" about the "cohort effect" - so searchers might find it.
Cohort effects are important to resource dependency and economics theorists when these groups affect structures of influence within their larger organizations. Cohorts in organizations are often defined by entry or birth date, and retain some common characteristic (size, cohesiveness, competition) that can affect the organization. For example, cohort effects are critical issues in school enrollment.

Is it worth differentiating between cohort effects and variables, as there is clearly some crossover? Thanks.
