Our Empirical Strategy: Mincer Earnings Functions and the Blinder-Oaxaca Technique

Roger White

Chapter Chapter 3 in Intersectionality and Discrimination, 2023, pp 41-70 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract We provide a detailed introduction to the empirical methodology that we use to examine intersectional wage discrimination. First, we introduce and derive the Mincer earnings function and present our battery of corresponding regression models. We then illustrate the Mincer model by presenting estimation results that are obtained via regression analysis. Second, we introduce the Blinder-Oaxaca decomposition technique and the Heckman two-step selection bias correction procedure. This entails an initial discussion, an illustrative example, and a discussion of results obtained from several estimations.
