Title: Is there a Double-Negative Effect? Gender and Ethnic Wage Differentials.
Abstract: This paper investigates the gender and ethnic wage differentials for female Immigrants, applying the Oaxaca 
ecomposition to estimate the level of discrimination. The gender pay gap is quite small (7.42%), but it's not explained 
by observable differences, whilst the ethnic wage gap is larger (27.11%), but the explained components account for about 30%.
Ultimately, we will evaluate how the multiple levels of discrimination (due to being a woman and a foreigner at the same time)
intersect, following the decomposition suggested by Shamsuddin (1998). 
The double - negative effect is estimated to be 56 - 62%.
