Oaxaca Decomposition in R

I have used Oaxaca type decompositions. Did never find any package for R, so I wrote some functions that do it. It is similar to the corresponding package in Stata.

You can find a copy of it in: https://github.com/eyjo/Oaxaca

Note that at the time I was interested in using Fixed Effects (panel data) models, which are not directly compatible with these decompositions. There is an unfinished handler for FE type models, but it should not be used. I meant to create a package out of it, but never got around to it.

The oaxaca package on CRAN can estimate Blinder-Oaxaca decompositions for linear models, as well as producing bar charts that show the results: http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/oaxaca/index.html

It can also calculate bootstrapped standard errors to provide a sense of how much estimation uncertainty there is.

The vignette gives a detailed description of the package's capabilities, as well as providing some examples of its use. See here: "oaxaca: Blinder-Oaxaca Decomposition in R"
