The Blinder–Oaxaca Decomposition for Linear Regression Models [PDF]
The Stata Journal, 2008 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.

The Blinder–Oaxaca Decomposition for Nonlinear Regression Models [PDF]
The Stata Journal, 2008 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 into several components. We show how, using nldecompose, this general decomposition can be applied to different models with discrete and limited dependent variables.
