Using a decomposition … framework, the paper establishes whether the gender gap in unemployment is driven by differences in observable characteristics …

The Blinder-Oaxaca decomposition technique is widely used to identify and quantify the separate contributions of group … and gender gaps in outcomes. The technique cannot be used directly, however, if the outcome is binary and the coefficients … are from a logit or probit model. I describe a relatively simple method of performing a decomposition that uses estimates …

This paper estimates the gender wage gap and its composition in China's urban labor market using the 2009 survey data … from the Chinese Family Panel Studies. Several estimation and decomposition methods have been used and compared. First, we … examine the gender wage gap using ordinary least square regression method with a gender dummy variable. Then, we apply Oaxaca …
