Gender Differences in Salary and Promotion for Faculty in the Humanities 1977-95.

Ginther, Donna K.; Hayes, Karen J.

Journal of Human Resources, v38 n1 p34-73 Win 2003

From the humanities sample of the Survey of Doctoral Recipients 1977-95, a cross-sectional sample of tenured/tenure-track faculty and a longitudinal sample of doctoral recipients 1975-89 were studied. Gender salary differences were largely explained by rank. Substantial gender differences in tenure were found, with a slight decline in the gap for the most recent cohort. (Contains 24 references.)
