Estimation of Relative Elasticities of Substitution and Relative Compensation for Part-Time Faculty.

Tuckman, Howard P.; Katz, David A.

Economics of Education Review, v1 n3 p359-66 Sum 1981

Results indicate a growing compensation gap between part- and full-time faculty and increasing substitutability of part- for full-time teachers. (RW)
