discrimination. All of the methods involve the decomposition of gross (unadjusted) wage …

The standard wage decomposition methodology produces arbitrary results when attempting
to estimate the separate contributions of sets of dummy variables to the unexplained portion …

We developed a general-purpose multivariate decomposition command for nonlinear
response models that incorporates several recent contributions to overcome various …

In this article, a general Blinder–Oaxaca decomposition for nonlinear models is derived,
which allows the difference in an outcome variable between two groups to be decomposed …

This paper examines the implications of the standard Heckman (Heckit) correction for
selectivity bias in wage and earnings functions that are subsequently used in wage …

This paper develops a general Blinder–Oaxaca decomposition that allows the differences in
an outcome variable between two groups to be decomposed into (i) a part that is explained …

We investigate public–private pay determination using French, British and Italian microdata.
While traditional methods focus on parametric methods to estimate the public sector pay …

Using a national sample of 1461 child protective services (CPS) investigations in the United
