| Abstract: | The simplest competitive labor market model asserts that if tenure us a desirable job characteristic for professors, they should be willing to pay for it by accepting lower salaries. Conversely, if an institution unilaterally reduces the probability that its assistant professors receive tenure, it will have to pay higher salaries to attract new faculty. The paper tests this theory using data on salary offers accepted by new assistant professors at economic departments in the US during the 1974-75 to 1980-81 period. |
