Searching for the effect of unionism on the wages of union and nonunion workers

The gender wage gap and wage arrears in Russia: Evidence from the RLMS

“…whilst Oaxaca and Ransom (1989) suggest using the estimates from a pooled malefemale wage equation. Juhn, Murphy and Pierce (1993) and Blau and Kahn (1996) extend the basic decomposition to study the wage differential over time as a function of changes in observable characteristics and the associated returns, changes in ranking within the wage distribution and changes in the wage distribution itself.…”

The Public Earnings Premium in a Mineral Rich Economy: New Piece in the Puzzle

“…In this paper I employ the standard two-fold Blinder (1973) Oaxaca (1973 decomposition following the more general approach of Neumark (1988), Oaxaca and Ransom (1988) and Oaxaca and Ransom (1994), where the coefficients from a pooled regression over both the public and private sectors are used to evaluate the effect of differences in the predictors of sector earnings. This alteration is justified, particularly in the context of identifying public sector rents, since the original Blinder-Oaxaca procedure implies that the earnings differential is ascribed to underpayment of the subordinate group, men employed in the private sector in this case, rather than to overpayment of the dominant group.…”

Occupational Segregation and Gender Discrimination in Labor Markets: Thailand and Viet Nam

“…Since the pioneering paper by Oaxaca (1973), there have been a number of studies that look into the gender differential in earnings. Prominent studies in this area include�� 2 Cotton (1988), which analyzed costs and benefit analysis of discrimination; Neumark (1988), which proposed an alternative procedure from a particular Beckerian discrimination model; and Oaxaca andRansom (1988 and, which proposed a procedure to estimate the nondiscriminatory wage structure in analyzing union/nonunion wage differentials.…”
