Decomposition of non-linear models using simulated residuals

Author

Listed:
  • Wolff, François-Charles

Abstract

This paper proposes to decompose non-linear models deduced from a latent regression framework using the latent dependent outcome as dependent variable and the Oaxaca–Blinder decomposition technique. Values of the unobserved latent outcome are obtained using simulated residuals.
