True health vs response styles: exploring cross-country differences in self-reported health. (2007, result): “This decomposition follows the Oaxaca-Blinder approach well-known in the labour economics literature (non-parametric decomposition by way of re-weighting [23] yields very similar results).”
Propensity Score Matching without Conditional Independence Assumption - With an Application to the Gender Wage Gap in the United Kingdom (2007, unknown): “Several recent studies have demonstrated that the functional form assumptions inherent in the parametric Blinder–Oaxaca decomposition can give misleading results (See e.g. Barsky et al. 2002; Mora 2008; Nopo 2004).”
