| This article explores the relationship between university faculty human capital types and levels and their related salary inequality across five university systems in the United States. More specifically, a better university ranking in The Wall Street Journal or Forbes leads to a higher GINI coefficient. This finding is also true for research and development spending. We further show evidence that universities value human capital more or less equally dependent upon the concentration of human capital types. Faculty teaching is valued more equally and research less equally. Further analysis focusing on the assistant professor subgroup, as a larger and more active share of the academic job market, amplifies our results. |
