Gender pay and productivity in UK universities: Evidence from research-intensive Business Schools
利用英国高等教育统计局数据和2021年研究卓越框架数据,发现女性学者薪酬低于男性,但控制学术等级后研究生产力无性别差异,晋升障碍是薪酬差距的关键。
Women academics earn less than men, even after controlling for a range of productivity-related covariates. However, the latter usually do not include direct measures of research productivity. This paper uses data from the Higher Education Statistical Authority (HESA) confirming the existence of unconditional and conditional gender wage gaps. Data separately collected for the recent 2021 Research Excellence Framework (REF) shows men are more research productive but that after controlling for academic grade there is no gender productivity gap. For both wage and productivity gaps, there are barriers for women to achieve the research productivity needed to be promoted, and reducing these would go a long way to eliminating such gaps.
