Gender equity in college faculty pay: A cross-classified random effects model examining the impact of human capital, academic disciplines, and institutions (PDF; 160 KB)
Source: American Educational Research Association

Women faculty members continue to earn less than male faculty. After controlling for disciplinary and institutional attributes, individual demographic characteristics, and accumulated human capital, it appears that the gender wage gap continues. In the model where disciplinary and institutional effects are partition yet no controls are included, women earn approximately 14 percentage points than their male counterparts. After controlling for demographic characteristics and human capital, the gap drops to approximately 6 percentage points. In the final, fully-controlled model, women earn 4.2 percentage points less than men, resulting in a $3,100 gap.
