Neumark or Oaxaca-Ransom

[Olivia Roberts]

Quick question regarding decomposition methods and the use of omega with the Oaxaca command.

https://core.ac.uk/download/pdf/6442665.pdf page 16 indicates the use of omega with the Oaxaca command gives you the Oaxaca and Ransom's decomposition.

https://www.stata.com/statalist/arch.../msg00585.html indicates the use of omega with the Oaxaca command gives you the Neumark decomposition.

Which one is correct? Sorry to be a pain, just a tad confused!

I am wondering why:

a) there is not an option for Oaxaca-Ransom in STATA.

b) why on such a useful topic there is only one post on it.

Either is very easy to perform it or everyone here uses Oaxaca-Blinder....

I had to read an entire paper but I found it.

There IS an option, pooled, and it is very helpful.

What is not helpful at all is posting in this forum, apparently,
