requires repeated re-calculation of the estimator. In Honoré and Hu (2015), we propose a computationally simpler bootstrap … contribution here is that rather than repeated re-calculating the U-statistic-based estimator, we can recalculate a related … estimator based on single-sums. A simulation study suggests that the approach leads to a good approximation to the standard …

The widely used Oaxaca decomposition applies to linear models. Extending it to commonly used nonlinear models such as … duration models is not straightforward. This paper shows that the original decomposition that uses a linear model can also be … obtained by an application of the mean value theorem. By extension, this basis provides a means of obtaining a decomposition …
