Public versus Private University Presidents Pay Levels and Structure
Monks, James
Economics of Education Review, v26 n3 p338-348 Jun 2007
Existing studies examine the determinants of private university presidents' compensation, but ignore recent earnings differentials between public and private university presidents. This paper estimates that public university presidents earn approximately 50 percent less than comparable private university presidents. This salary discount is robust to controls for institutional and individual characteristics, and estimation technique.
