Abstract
Sex discrimination in faculty salaries: a case study. Data concerning faculty at Memorial University of Newfoundland for 1973-74 are used to investigate possible sex discrimination in faculty salaries. A large salary differential between the sexes arises largely from differences in training and experience, but substantial unexplained differences remain between men and women who seem to be professionally equivalent. Taking into account possible discrimination in promotions more than doubles these differentials, while such productivity variables as we included have the anticipated effect of substantially reducing them. The analysis suggests that specification errors in previous discrimination studies may have had substantial effects on the estimates.
