An extension of the Blinder-Oaxaca decomposition to a continuum of comparison groups

Author(s) : Ñopo, Hugo
Description : This paper proposes an extension of the Blinder-Oaxaca decomposition from two to a continuum of comparison groups. The proposed decomposition is then estimated for the case of racial wage differences in urban Peru, exploiting a novel data set that allows the capturing of mestizaje (racial mixtures).
