Decomposition scheme matters more than you may think
This paper promotes the application of a path-independent decomposition scheme. Besides presenting some theoretical arguments supporting this decomposition scheme, this study also illustrates the difference between the path-independent decomposition scheme and a popular sequential decomposition with an empirical application of the two schemes. The empirical application is about identifying a directly unobservable phenomenon, i.e. the changing social gap between people from different educational strata, through its effect on marriages and cohabitations. It exploits census data from four waves between 1977 and 2011 about the American, French, Hungarian, Portuguese, and Romanian societies. For some societies and periods, the outcome of the decomposition is found to be highly sensitive to the choice of the decomposition scheme. These examples illustrate the point that a careful selection of the decomposition scheme is crucial for adequately documenting the dynamics of unobservable factors.
