- R. Oaxaca
- Mathematics
- 1 March 1974
Undoubtedly, anyone with at least an intro ductory course in econometrics has been exposed to the "Chow" test. As popularized by Johnston [4, pp. 136-138], the "Chow" test is a statistical means for…

Wage Decompositions with Selectivity-Corrected Wage Equations: A Methodological Note
This paper examines the implications of the standard Heckman (Heckit) correction for selectivity bias in wage and earnings functions that are subsequently used in wage decompositions. Even when…
New Market Power Models and Sex Differences in Pay
In the context of certain models, it is possible to infer the elasticity of labor supply to the firm from the elasticity of the quit rate with respect to the wage. We use this strategy to estimate…
