- Title
Wage Discrimination in British Columbia Business and Law Schools: An Empirical Analysis.
- Authors
Thornicroft, Kenneth Wm.
- Abstract
This study, utilizing a unique dataset constructed by the author, examines sex and racial discrimination with respect to salaries paid to professors employed in business and law schools in British Columbia research universities. The estimated wage equations control for various factors that would presumptively affect salary levels such as the relative quality/reputation of the employing institution, discipline (business versus law), whether the individual has a senior leadership position, rank, educational qualifications, teaching performance and research output. This study finds about a 6% to 8% male-female wage gap but no evidence of wage disparity for professors who are members of a visible minority.
