An extension of the Blinder-Oaxaca decomposition to a Continuum of Comparison Groups

by Hugo Nþopo

This paper proposes an extension of the Blinder-Oaxaca decomposition from two to a continuum of comparison groups. The proposed decomposition is then estimated for the case of racial wage differences in urban Peru, exploiting a novel data set that allows the capturing of mestizaje (racial mixtures). -- Blinder-Oaxaca decomposition ; Race ; Gender ; Informality
