Modeling Supply and Demand for Arts and Sciences Faculty: What Ten Years of Data Tell Us about the Labor Market Projections of Bowen and Sosa.
Shapiro, Douglas T.
Journal of Higher Education, v72 n5 p532-64 Sep-Oct 2001

Improvements to the model are recommended, including the use of an inventory-attrition model to account for backlogs of supply. (Author)
