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 کاملReligion and Subjective Well-Being: Evidence from PSM Approach
While some research projects have been done into the guidelines for and inefficacy of religious involvement in subjective well-being (SWB), it has been well-argued that religious involvement should be more considered as one of the key elements triggering off SWB. The current study examines the possible relationship between religious involvement, religious attendance, religious beliefs, and SWB ...
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 کاملEconomic Inequality in Eye Care Utilization and its Determinants: A Blinder–Oaxaca Decomposition
Background The current study aimed to determine eye care utilization, to assess the role of economic inequality in the utilization of eye care services, and to identify its determinants in Shahroud, North of Iran.

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...
