Oaxaca-Blinder estimation

Postby oksanakim » Thu Jan 08, 2026 11:32 am

Good day everyone! I am in need to implement the Oaxaca-Blinder estimation in Eviews, to address the effect of impact of difference in unobservable characteristics. Is there a syntax/estimation technique for this in Eviews? Thank you in advance for any suggestions!

There's nothing built in, but I believe the decomposition is just the difference between variables and linear regression coefficients, which should be pretty easy to compute manually or via a quick script.

Thank you for this note, Gareth. Would you have advice as to where / how to get the script for this type of analysis? I do not see anything close in any sources. They says Stata has a code but I don't work in it.

You'd have to write it yourself.
