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).”
Taste‐Based or Statistical Discrimination: The Economics of Discrimination Returns to its Roots (2013, background): “returns to education) and unexplained differences (Blinder, 1973; Oaxaca, 1973).”
An extension of the Blinder–Oaxaca decomposition to nonlinear models (2008, unknown): “For these models, Blinder (1973) and Oaxaca (1973) propose the decomposition Y A − Y B = ∆OLS = (XA − XB)β̂A + XB(β̂A − β̂B), (1) where Y g = N −1 g ∑Ng i=1 Yig and Xg = N −1 g ∑Ng i=1 Xig.”
A field experiment to study sex and age discrimination in the Madrid labour market (2011, methodology): “1996) based on a standard methodology (Bovenkerk 1992). In any case, as mentioned by Riach and Rich (2006a), in such studies the bulk of discrimination has always been detected at the first (invitation to interview) stage.”
ABSTRACT Matching as a Tool to Decompose Wage Gaps (2004, unknown): “The current research program deals with (1) mobility and flexibility of labor, (2) internationalization of labor markets, (3) welfare state and labor market, (4) labor markets in transition countries, (5) the future of labor, ( 6 ) evaluation of labor market policies and projects and (7) general lab”
The China Puzzle: Falling Happiness in a Rising Economy (2009, unknown): “Instead, 78% of the effect change reflects indeed a growing importance of financial dissatisfaction for life satisfaction—at any level of financial dissatisfaction in urban China (2.18, z = 7.77) (Oaxaca 1973; Blinder 1973 ).5 Table 6 Explaining life satisfaction for rural China”
Progress For Women In Academe, Yet Inequities Persist: Evidence from NSOPF:99 (2005, methodology): “There are, however, alternative methods for measuring the unexplained wage gap developed by Oaxaca (1973), Blinder (1973), Reimers (1983), Cotton (1988), and Neumark (1988), and these different methods can alter the conclusions drawn regarding the level of pay disparity between men and women.”
Viewpoint: Measuring and Understanding Subjective Well-Being (2010, unknown): “We do this using the Junn (2008) implementation of the decomposition method suggested much earlier by Blinder (1973) and Oaxaca (1973) for explaining wage differentials.”
Decomposition of differences in distribution using quantile regression (2005, methodology): “Following Blinder (1973) and Oaxaca (1973), the difference between the average earnings in two periods, t and s, can be decomposed as ( ) ( t s t t s t s y y x b b x x b − = − + − ) s (2.1) where the first term on the right-hand side captures differences in the estimated coefficients, while the…”
The value of doing what you like: Evidence from the self-employed in 23 countries (2008, methodology): “In order to address this question, an adapted version of the Blinder–Oaxaca decomposition procedure is used (Oaxaca, 1973; Blinder, 1973).”
