In this study, we use data from the 1999 National Study of Postsecondary Faculty (NSOPF:99) to measure the unexplained wage gap between men and women in academe. We pay particular attention to how these unexplained wage gaps have changed over time by comparing the results from the 1999 survey to published results from previous national surveys and test for the sensitivity of these findings to the method used for measuring the unexplained wage gap and the type of institution or field being examined. We found that there has been a notable reduction in the overall unexplained wage gap between men and women, and that there is no longer any evidence of a statistically significant pay differential between men and women in doctoral-level or liberal arts institutions. The results also show that significant pay differentials still persist in some segments of academe, and that overall women with comparable qualifications to men have lower salaries.

“…In addition to these studies of work experiences and health of professors, several researchers have studied gender differences among professors. These have examined salary (Ashraf, 1996;Gander, 1997;Ginther & Hayes, 1999), career development and advancement (McDowell, Singell & Ziliak, 1999;Ozbilgin & Healy, 2004); levels of job stress (Adeoye, 1991) and job satisfaction (Oshagbemi, 2000;Smith & Plant, 1982).…”

“…These studies usually focus on trying to estimate whether faculty are paid differently based on nonwork-related characteristics such as gender and race/ethnicity (Ashraf, 1996;Barbezat, 1989Barbezat, , 1991Barbezat, , 2002Ferber, 1974;Hoffman, 1976;Katz, 1973;Ransom and Megdal, 1993;Toutkoushian and Conley, 2005). It is usually the case that the average salary for male faculty exceeds the average for female faculty, and such mean differences could raise concerns within the institution about possible pay discrimination.…”

A significant part of the work that institutional researchers conduct is related to faculty. Institutional researchers often work directly with the information systems that contain data on their faculty, and thus understand how these data were generated and some of their limitations when reported to various audiences. The fact that many institutional researchers have strong quantitative and methodological skills allows them to understand the different implications of using data on faculty for decision making. For these reasons, institutional researchers increasingly act as mediators between the producers and the users of faculty data.To do this effectively, institutional researchers need to understand the theoretical frameworks behind the activities of faculty. Economics can play a significant role in this regard. Economists strive to model how decision makers behave in particular markets. The models rely on the premise that decision makers are trying to achieve specific goals, such as maximizing utility, while working with limited resources. This approach can be applied to faculty, who have to make decisions about how to allocate their time between competing activities, and institutions, which must employ fulltime faculty and other inputs to achieve educational goals. Economists then use these models to examine how the equilibrium would change when one or more factors in the model change. This process, known as comparative statics, is perhaps the most valuable use of economics because it provides a way to test hypotheses about the relationships between factors such as gender and faculty salaries. Economists firmly believe that the incentives faced
