Seniority and Monopsony in the Academic Labor Market

Abstract

Workers with high seniority usually have higher wages than workers with low seniority and the same total labor-marke t experience. In contrast, the results of this paper indicate that higher seniority is associated with lower salaries for university professors. The author documents this finding for national surveys a nd individual institutions and explains it as due to monopsonistic discrimination by employers.
