Blinder-Oaxaca Decomposition for Tobit Models
Blinder-Oaxaca Decomposition for Tobit Models In this paper, a decomposition method for Tobit-models is derived, which allows the differences in a censored outcome variable between two groups to be decomposed into a part that is explained by differences in observed characteristics and a part attributable to differences in the estimated coefficients. The method is applied to a decomposition of t...
متن کاملBlinder-Oaxaca as a Reweighting Estimator
A large literature focuses on the use of propensity score methods as a semi-parametric alternative to regression for estimation of average treatments e¤ects. We show here that the classic regression based estimator of counterfactual means studied by Alan Blinder (1973) and Ronald Oaxaca (1973) constitutes a propensity score reweighting estimator based upon a linear model for the conditional odd...
متن کاملUnexplained gaps and Oaxaca–Blinder decompositions
Unexplained Gaps and Oaxaca-Blinder Decompositions We analyze four methods to measure unexplained gaps in mean outcomes: three decompositions based on the seminal work of Oaxaca (1973) and Blinder (1973) and an approach involving a seemingly naïve regression that includes a group indicator variable. Our analysis yields two principal findings. We show that the coefficient on a group indicator va...
متن کاملThe Blinder–Oaxaca decomposition for linear regression models
The counterfactual decomposition technique popularized by Blinder (1973, Journal of Human Resources, 436–455) and Oaxaca (1973, International Economic Review, 693–709) is widely used to study mean outcome differences between groups. For example, the technique is often used to analyze wage gaps by sex or race. This article summarizes the technique and addresses several complications, such as the...
متن کاملAccounting for Cross-Country Income Differences
Why are some countries so much richer than others? Development Accounting is a first-pass attempt at organizing the answer around two proximate determinants: factors of production and efficiency. It answers the question “how much of the cross-country income variance can be attributed to differences in (physical and human) capital, and how much to differences in the efficiency with which capital...
