Michael Baker; Yosh Halberstam; Kory Kroft; Alexandre Mas; Derek Messacar – National Bureau of Economic Research, 2024

Our estimates indicate…

What is the impact of the gender pay gap in academia over the course of a career and retirement? To quantify this impact, we used a Canadian post-secondary institution as a case study and simulated the effects of the reported difference in salary across multiple academic career trajectories. A starting wage gap of less than $9,000 resulted in a…
