Blinder-Oaxaca Decomposition for Tobit Models

No 5309, CEPR Discussion Papers from C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers

Abstract: In this paper, a decomposition method for Tobit-models is derived, which allows the differences in a censored outcome variable between two groups to be decomposed into a part that is explained by differences in observed characteristics and a part attributable to differences in the estimated coefficients. The method is applied to a decomposition of the gender wage gap using German data
