The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Deep Neural Networks for Estimation and Inference: Application to Causal Effects and Other Semiparametric Estimands (2018, methodology): “To appreciate the breadth of this framework, and the applicability of our causal inference results, we also consider a decomposition parameter, a semiparametric analogue of Oaxaca-Blinder (Kitagawa, 1955; Oaxaca, 1973; Blinder, 1973).”
7. Multivariate Decomposition for Hazard Rate Models (2009, methodology): “Demographic standardization and decomposition techniques—generally referred to as component analysis—have a much longer history, and were formally developed by Kitagawa (1955) and generalized by Das Gupta (1993).”
Standardization and Control for Confounding in Observational Studies: A Historical Perspective (2015, methodology): “Kitagawa (1955) proposed an additive decomposition in which the difference in crude rates is expressed as a sum of (a) the difference between the (direct) standardized rates, and (b) a residual due to”
Life table response experiment analysis of the stochastic growth rate (2010, background): “It was introduced by Kitagawa (1955) to explore the effects of agespecific death rates and of age distribution on crude death rates.”
