Exploiting information from path dependency in Oaxaca–Blinder decomposition procedures

Applied Economics Letters, 2004
This paper argues that path dependency in Oaxaca-Blinder decomposition procedures should not be considered as a limitation and provides valuable information. Illustration is given for the evaluation of racial discrimination on health in South Africa for 1999.

Regional Consumption Inequality in China: An Oaxaca-Blinder Decomposition at the Prefectural Level

Growth and Change, 2017
Sharp regional differences in income and consumption patterns have characterized the Chinese development process. Focusing on the years 2007 and 2012, this work employs the Oaxaca-Blinder decomposition to assess the extent and the determinants of the urban/non-urban and coastal/inland disparity in consumption patterns.

Mean and quantile regression Oaxaca-Blinder decompositions with an application to caste discrimination

The Journal of Economic Inequality, 2017
This paper extends the Oaxaca-Blinder decomposition method to the quantile regression random-coefficients framework. Mean-based decompositions are obtained as the integration of the quantile regression decomposition process. This method allows identifying if the observed differences between two groups differ across quantiles, and if so, what is the ...

Using the oaxaca–blinder decomposition as an empirical tool to analyze racial disparities in obesity

Obesity, 2014
ObjectiveRacial disparities in obesity in the US are often assumed to reflect racial disparities in socio‐economic status, diet and physical‐activity. We present an econometric method that helps examine this by “decomposing” the racial gap in body‐mass index (BMI) into how much can be explained by racial differences in “standard” predictors of BMI, and

Sources of Regional Income Disparity in Rural Vietnam: Oaxaca-Blinder Decomposition

2007
This paper investigates determinants of regional income disparity in rural Vietnam, with special emphasis placed on the roles of human capital and land. We apply a decomposition method, suggested by Oaxaca and Blinder. We found that returns to assets rather than endowments, especially those of human capital, are one of the leading factors to account ...
