• Resumen

  • The author compares science industry in the U.S. and Europe, discusses income inequality in U.S. science research and argues that performance-based pay enables U.S. universities to attract top international science talent. Topics include U.S. college teacher salaries, faculty promotions, research productivity, and the measurement of salary disparities using Gini coefficients. A diagram is presented comparing U.S. faculty income gaps in science, engineering, and mathematics fields from 1973 to 2006.
