Hi,
My team is looking to use stata to perform Oaxaca decomposition on the effects of poverty on pupils' exam performance (using the decomposition splitting pupils into those eligible to receive free school meals and those ineligible). We are aware of the paper "The Blinder-Oaxaca decomposition for linear regression models":
http://www.stata-journal.com/article.html?article=st0151
but usually when we do modelling such as this we use a random intercepts two-level model (usually in SPSS) to capture the school effect and pupil effect on exam performance. Is anyone aware of performing Oaxaca decomposition with multilevel models in Stata; any papers, necessary add-ins, etc.
Regards,
David Gotts
