Dear all,

I am doing a two-fold Oaxaca-Blinder decomposition in Stata using -oaxaca- command written by Ben Jann (2008, Stata Journal). I am interested in 'detailed' results. I find that controbutions of some varaibles are statistically insignificant. This happens both in the explained part and in the explained part. Should I take those variables into account when interpreting decomposition results? In some cases the contributions are large relative to the gap, but they are insignificant.


Thank you!
Aleksey
