Evidence for Paraguay using semi-parametric methods Diego Ángel-Urdinola Quentin Wodon Economía y Finanzas Minimum Wage Wage inequality Semiparametric methods have been used to assess the impact of policies suchas changes in the minimum wage on the distribution of wage earnings. Whilethe methods are in the spirit of the Blinder-Oaxaca decomposition, they help todifferentiate impacts according to where individuals are located in thedistribution of wages, and thereby to measure impacts on wage inequality apartfrom average wages. In this paper, using recent repeated cross-section datafrom Paraguay for 1993 and 2001, we show how to use semiparametric methodsto assess impacts on different groups, such as younger and older workers.
