The NY Times has an article that provide a little review of a soon to be published book "Paying the Professorate" which provides the results from an international study of the salaries of academics. see: http://www.nytimes.com/2012/04/02/world/europe/02iht-educlede02.html?smid=fb-share&pagewanted=all
(1) Damn the Canadians! ;-) (2) Would you like to be an academic in Ethiopia? (3) Are you glad that you're not an academic in Russia? (4) Why might Chinese academics find U.S. schools so attractive? I have some questions about the accuracy of the data (it appears that it is hard to get good data on academic's salaries) but it does give one pause. One major problem is that the data is provided by country and not academic discipline within country. Nonetheless, the top level salaries for the U.S. seem a little low, unless law and medical schools are being excluded. -Mike Palij New York University [email protected] --- You are currently subscribed to tips as: [email protected].
