摘要：In this paper, we consider a detailed decomposition method for limited dependent variable mod-els. That means, we propose a method to decompose the di.erential in the (limited dependent)outcome variable between two groups into the contributions of the explanatory variables. Weprovide a theoretical derivation of the detailed decomposition and show how this decompositioncan be estimated consistently. In contrast to decomposition approaches already presented in theliterature, our method leads to a unique decomposition and accounts for the nonlinearity of theunderlying econometric model in a rather intuitive way. Our results can be applied to the mostcommon limited dependent variable models such as probit, logit and tobit models
