abstract = {This paper examines the hypothesis that the gender salary gap observed in the academic labour
market is predominantly explained by the differing average characteristics of male and female
academics and barriers to female promotion. Preliminary analysis reveals that the crowding of
women into the lower rungs of academia is a strong determinant of their lower average salary.
This effect should be transitory as young women, now entering the profession, move up its
ranks. We construct a rank attainment model and investigate the current and predicted
distribution of females across ranks. Significant evidence of barriers to female promotion is
revealed.},
