abstract: 'Labor market discrimination is an important issue in developing
countries where path-dependent institutions have been dominant, while
effective institutional arrangements and policies have been hidden by
local customs and culture. However, the existing applications of
classical Blinder-Oaxaca decomposition face criticism for their
imprecise understanding of the factors affecting institutional
discrimination in labor markets, as well as for their lack of power in
formulating well-targeted anti-discrimination policies. Following Oaxaca
(1973), we propose a new method to decompose the total discrimination
index (TDI) to analyze employment and wage discrimination in the labor
markets of developing countries. The TDI is decomposed into the
employment discrimination index (EDI) and the wage discrimination index
(WDI), then into the underpayment index to majorities (UPI) and the
overpayment index to minorities (OPI). We apply this method to the
institutional discrimination against rural migrants in China''s urban
areas. Using national representative data from 2002 to 2013, we have
found that, 1) the TDI increased quickly after China entered the WTO,
then dropped after anti-discrimination policies were implemented. 2) The
TDI is mainly determined by the UPI, while the TDI''s fluctuation is
mainly determined by the WDI. Our method provides insights into the
changing composition of employment and wage discrimination and their
respective labor market outcomes in developing countries. As a result,
appropriate policy measures may be developed accordingly. (C) 2018
