dear all, i want to calculate the decomposition(eq 3) in the paper of Kidd and Shannon, 1996,does the level of occupational aggregation affect the estimates of the gender wage gap? I have all the ingredients but i don't get the total gap by my computations.is this because for some of the components i have missing values. For example the prop of men in occupation 1 is missing for women and indiv in other occupations. Well, if instead of missing i replace 0 the result is not the expected one. Do i have to gen, for my example a variable, or better a scalar that takes the same value even if it is a men in other occupations?
