Gender Differences in Salary and Promotion in the Humanities
利用博士获得者调查数据，通过Oaxaca分解和持续时间分析，发现人文学科中性别薪酬差异主要由学术等级解释，但晋升终身教职的性别差异在控制生产力等因素后仍然显著。
In their annual review of academic salaries, the American Association of University Professors observes large gender-related salary differentials. At doctoral-level institutions, male professors at the rank of full professor earn 11.4% more than women full professors. Data on academic labor markets from the Survey of Doctorate Recipients to evaluate gender differences in salaries and promotion probabilities. Differences in employment outcomes by gender are found using two methods: the Oaxaca decomposition is used to examine salary differentials, and duration analysis is used to estimate promotion to tenure. While gender salary differences can largely be explained by academic rank, substantial gender differences in promotion to tenure exist after controlling for productivity, demographic characteristics, and primary work activity.
