We propose to estimate the Blinder-Oaxaca decomposition by a single-equation model augmented with interactions between the group membership and other predictors. The relative importance of predictors on the discriminatory wage gap is examined by the interaction coefficients, which may lead to very different conclusions than the usual percentage calculations using the detailed decomposition method. Comparisons are made between the traditional interpretations and those suggested here using wage data from Finland. The decomposition analysis suggests that the discriminatory male-female wage gap is largely related to work experience, while our preferred model points to the importance of family gap and working industry.

Efficient Bayesian generalized linear models with time-varying coefficients : The walker package in R
Helske, Jouni (Elsevier BV, 2022)The R package walker extends standard Bayesian general linear models to the case where the effects of the explanatory variables can vary in time. This allows, for example, to model the effects of interventions such as ... -
Eight Simple Guidelines for Improved Understanding of Transformations and Nonlinear Effects
Rönkkö, Mikko; Aalto, Eero; Tenhunen, Henni; Aguirre-Urreta, Miguel I. (SAGE Publications, 2022)Transforming variables before analysis or applying a transformation as a part of a generalized linear model are common practices in organizational research. Several methodological articles addressing the topic, either ... -
Polynomial Regression and Measurement Error : Implications for Information Systems Research
Aguirre-Urreta, Miguel I.; Rönkkö, Mikko; Hu, Jiang (Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), 2020)Many of the phenomena of interest in information systems (IS) research are nonlinear, and it has consequently been recognized that by applying linear statistical models (e.g., linear regression), we may ignore important ... -
Public-private sector pay gaps in Finland: A quantile regression analysis
Maczulskij, Terhi; Pehkonen, Jaakko (Finnish Economic Association, 2011)This paper examines public-private sector wage differentials in Finland using a quantile regression method. We control for the endogeneity of the working sector and allow the returns of individual skills to vary between ... -
