The Gender Pay Gap in Academia: Evidence from the Ohio State University
利用俄亥俄州立大学的人力资源数据，发现终身教职教师中存在11%的性别薪酬差距，且该差距的幅度因样本定义不同而变化，提醒研究者关注样本选择和分类问题。
Abstract We utilize human resources data from The Ohio State University to assess the gender wage gap. We find a persistent gap of 11% among regular, tenure‐track faculty after accounting for fiscal year, race, clinical appointments, experience, and department. While the presence of a statistically significant gender wage gap is robust, the magnitude of the gap varies substantially depending on how the sample of interest is defined. In assessing gender wage gaps, researchers and universities must be attentive to issues of attrition and classification. Transparency regarding how estimates are affected by sample exclusions and variable definitions will yield insight into possible sources of gender bias.
