Fairlie

Fairlie is a statistical method used to understand how different factors contribute to disparities between groups, especially when dealing with complex data like income or employment. It works by creating simulated scenarios to isolate the effect of specific variables, helping researchers determine how much certain factors—such as education or experience—explain differences observed between groups. This technique is particularly useful in analyzing nonlinear relationships and categorical variables, providing a clearer picture of the drivers behind gaps or inequalities in various contexts.
