Normalized equation and decomposition analysis : computation and inference

Yun, Myeong-Su (contributor) - 2005

This paper joins discussions on normalized regression and decomposition equations in devising a simple and general algorithm for obtaining the normalized regression and applying it to the Oaxaca decomposition. This resolves the invariance problem in the detailed Oaxaca decomposition. An...

Targeting non-cognitive skills to improve cognitive outcomes : evidence from a remedial education intervention

Holmlund, Helena; Silva, Olmo - 2009

A growing body of research highlights the importance of non-cognitive skills as determinants of young people's cognitive outcomes at school. However, little evidence exists about the effects of policies that specifically target students' non-cognitive skills as a way to improve educational...

A note on decomposing differences in poverty incidence using regression estimates : algorithm and example

Bhaumik, Sumon Kumar (contributor); Gang, Ira N. (contributor) - 2006

This paper decomposes differences in poverty incidence (head count ratio) using estimates from a regression equation, synthesizing the approaches proposed in World Bank (2003) and Yun (2004). A significance test is developed for characteristics and coefficients effects when decomposing...

"Beauty is the promise of happiness"?

Hamermesh, Daniel S.; Abrevaya, Jason - 2011

We measure the impact of individuals' looks on their life satisfaction or happiness. Using five data sets from the U.S., Canada, the U.K., and Germany, we construct beauty measures in different ways that allow putting a lower bound on the true effects of beauty on happiness. Personal beauty...

Multivariate decomposition for hazard rate models

Powers, Daniel A.; Yun, Myeong-Su - 2009

We develop a regression decomposition technique for hazard rate models, where the difference in observed rates is decomposed into components attributable to group differences in characteristics and group differences in effects. The baseline hazard is specified using a piecewise constant...

A detailed decomposition of synthetic cohort analysis

Barr, Tavis; Lin, Carl - 2013

Social scientists are often interested in assessing relative changes between two groups over time, for example, the convergence of black-white wages from 1940 to 1990. In such situations, we need a control group for both treatment groups to remove biases resulting from time trends and unobserved...
