Hi,
Although I cannot provide a shorcut to your specific question, the commands
-decomp- and -decompose- does the the Oaxaca/Blinder decompositions
automatically. They also offer some extensions.
If you have not installed them, write -findit decomp- on the command line.
Best regards,
Christer

Hi,
I am doing some oaxaca decompositions and I'm looking for some shortcuts,
thus I ran the two following estimations:
[1] separate estimations for male and female: wage = alpha + beta1*gamma +
beta2*zeta
[2] one estimation, but with interactive dummies (female = 1 for women)
wage = alpha + beta1*gamma + beta2*zeta + beta3*female +
beta4*female*gamma + beta5*female*zeta
Now my question is why is it that the estimated beta1 in [2] differ from
that of beta1 in the male estimation in [1]? And why is it that the
summation of beta1 and beta4 in estimation [2] would equal to beta1 for
females in estimation [1]?
I know I'm making different assumptions regarding the error terms in
estimations [1] and [2], but what elses are driving the differences?
Many thanks in advance.
Cheers,
Ada Ma
