Significance levels in Oaxaca-Blinder

[Tommaso Bechini]

Hello everyone, I am trying to calculate an Oaxaca-Blinder decomposition, trying to determine its effect in regards of an urban-rural situation.
I would like the results to feature significance levels, but I could not find how to implement that option. I think it should be level(#). But I cannot seem to get it right.

The code is

xi: oaxaca log_extinc age age_squared Edu_Post_1 Edu_Post_2 worker retired hsize year i.year i.natnum, by (Rural), relax robust noisily pooled

I don't enclose any dataset because my problem is only a syntax one.

where should I put level(#) for it to work?

Thank you very much

oaxaca is from SSC (FAQ Advice #12). -level()- is an option, and options come after the comma. I think that this command supports factor variables, so drop the xi: prefix. Note that you only need a single comma.

oaxaca log_extin c.age##c.age ... hsize year i.year i.natnum, by (Rural) level(90) relax robust noisily pooled
