“…Previous literature has identified various types of academic consulting (Perkmann and Walsh 2008), and several papers have examined outside consulting's role on teaching and research productivity (Patton 1980;Johnson 1993;White 2001). Johnson (1993) and White (2001) found that consulting lends itself to supporting teaching efforts and can be useful as a teaching tool in the classroom. In the biotechnology field, engaging in academic entrepreneurship increases resources and fosters a symbiotic relationship between outside consulting and scientific productivity (Zucker, Darby, and Armstrong 1998).…”

A perk of academic employment is the ability to earn additional income from non-university entities by consulting. Despite the availability of such work, the potential synergies with research, teaching, and extension, and the controversy sometimes surrounding it, there is surprisingly little research on the prevalence of outside consulting, the determinants of consulting, or the response of faculty to specific university consulting policies. To address these issues, this paper utilizes data from a nationwide survey of academic agricultural economists. We find that about 43% of the sample reported consulting activities in the year prior to the survey. Of those who consulted, 12% (or about $34,000) of their total household income on average comes from outside consulting activities. Income from consulting is positively correlated with having a research appointment, income earned from the university, and number of career published papers. We also document extensive heterogeneity across university consulting policies and perceptions of these policies.
