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...

The life-cycle and the business-cycle of wage risk: a cross-country comparison

Bayer, Christian; Juessen, Falko - 2009

This paper provides a cross-country comparison of life-cycle and business-cycle fluctuations in the dispersion of household-level wage innovations. We draw our inference from household panel data sets for the US, the UK, and Germany. First, we find that household characteristics explain about...

Decomposing Differences in the First Moment

Yun, Myeong-Su - 2003

We propose a simple methodology for decomposing differences in the first moment into characteristics and coefficients effects. This methodology provides a way to apply the Blinder-Oaxaca decomposition to a non-linear function for both aggregate and detailed decompositions.

Female Labour Supply, Flexibility of Working Hours, and Job Mobility in the Netherlands

Euwals, Rob - 1999

In the empirical literature on labour supply, several static models are developed to incorporate constraints on working hours. These models do not address to what extent working hours are constrained within jobs, and to what extent working hours can be adjusted by means of changing employer. The...
