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

Wages and employment of French workers with African origin (2010, unknown): “Neuman and Oaxaca (2004a) and Neuman and Oaxaca (2004b) try to deal with these selectivity terms and to interpret them.”
Differences in Portfolios across Countries: Economic Environment versus Household Characteristics (2013, unknown): “Specifically, we applied the selectivity-corrected decompositions proposed by Neuman and Oaxaca (2004) and found that they give quite similar results to decompositions of mean differences that ignore selectivity (see the Web appendix, section IV for a fuller discussion).”
The Gender Pay Gap: Challenging the Rationalizations. Perceived Equity, Discrimination, and the Limits of Human Capital Models (2012, background): “The observed gap is decomposed into various explanatory factors, and the remaining, unexplained gap, or residual, is thought to represent discrimination (e.g., Neuman and Oaxaca 2004; Oaxaca 1973).”
A Stata implementation of the Blinder-Oaxaca decomposition (2008, methodology): “…is to deduct the selection eﬀects from the overall diﬀerential and then apply the standard decomposition formulas to this adjusted diﬀerential (Reimers 1983; an alternative approach is followed by Dolton and Makepeace 1986; see Neuman and Oaxaca 2004 for an in-depth treatment of this issue).”
