Generalized selection bias and the decomposition of wage differentials
Yun, Myeong-Su - 1999
The major contribution of this paper is ending a new and flexible way to measure the effects of selection on log-wages. In this context, we offer a general approach to performing decomposition analysis when selection effects are present. We call the difference between unconditional and...

Decomposition analysis for a binary choice model
Yun, Myeong-Su - 2000
This paper introduces a new and simple decomposition method for a binary choice model that is equivalent to the Blinder-Oaxaca decomposition analysis for wage differentials. The decomposition method is first developed for a single probit model and later generalized to a simultaneous equations...

The macroeconomics of labor and credit market imperfections
Wasmer, Etienne; Weil, Philippe - 2000
Labor market frictions are not the only possible factor responsible for high unemployment. Credit market imperfections, driven by microeconomic frictions and impacted upon by macroeconomic factors such as monetary policy, could also be to blame. This paper shows that labor and credit market...

A Simple Solution to the Identification Problem in Detailed Wage Decompositions
Yun, Myeong-Su - 2003
Oaxaca and Ransom (1999) show that a detailed decomposition of the coefficients effect is destined to suffer from an identification problem since the detailed coefficients effect attributed to a dummy variable is not invariant to the choice of reference groups. It turns out that the...

Commuting, wages and bargaining power
Rupert, Peter; Stancanelli, Elena G. F.; Wasmer, Etienne - 2009
A search model of the labor market is augmented to include commuting time to work. The theory posits that wages are … impact of commute time on job acceptance decisions. We also use the theory to calculate the bargaining power of workers which …
