ISET’s Professor Muhammad Asali Publishes Paper in International Journal
- Details
ISET would like to congratulate Professor Muhammad Asali on the publication of his new article, entitled “A Tale of Two Tracks,” in the Education Economics journal.
The paper makes an interesting contribution to the broader literature on the academic labor market. In particular, it provides new theoretical foundations for understanding the coexistence of contingent (teaching) positions and tenured-professor positions in academia. It also helps understand the observable, and widening, wage gaps between tenured (professors) and contingent faculty (teachers).
Moreover, the study provides original ways to calibrate the optimal wage gap and ratio of teachers to professors in academia, using publicly available information about the academic publication enterprise and the academic labor market.
