Generalized Naszodi-Mendonca method
 |
The GNM-method or Generalized Naszodi-Mendonca method is the generalized version of the NM-method. The latter was developed by Naszodi and Mendonca (2021).[1] and first applied by Naszodi and Mendonca (2019),[2] before being used in some other papers [3], [4], [5], [6], [7], [8], [9]. Whereas the GNM-method was developed by Naszodi (2021)[10] and applied by Naszodi and Mendonca (2023) [11]
Application
The GNM-method can be applied to study various phenomena including assortative mating along multiple traits.
Comparison with the NM-method
While the NM-method is suitable for constructing counterfactual joint distributions of a one-dimensional pair of traits (e.g. husband's education level and wife's education level),[1] the GNM-method can be applied to multidimensional pairs of traits (e.g., husband's education level and race; wife's education level and race).[11]
The counterfactual constructed by the NM-method can be used to decompose inter-generatinal changes in the prevalence of (educational) homogamy into the effects due to changes in (i) the structural availability (e.g., the educational distribution of marriageable men and women), (ii) the non-structural factor (e.g., aggregate marital preferences over spousal education, social barriers to marrying out of one's educational group, social marital norms), and (iii) the interaction of changing structural availability and the non-structural factor.[1]
The NM-method provides a unique solution to the counterfactual table (if the counterfactual is not impossible to obtain).[1] Therefore, the components calculated with the counterfactual decompositions based on the NM-method are scalar-valued.
Unlike the NM-method, the GNM-method results in a set of counterfactual tables. Therefore, it provides an interval for the components if being used for counterfactual decompositions.[11]
Implementation
The GNM-method is implemented in Matlab and R. It can be downloaded from Mendeley.[12] The NM-method is implemented in Excel, Visual Basic, R[13] and also in Stata.[12]
