How Do Journal Quality, Co‐Authorship, and Author Order Affect Agricultural Economists' Salaries?

Abstract

Abstract Utilizing an original data set containing annual salaries and peer‐reviewed publication histories for 326 faculty members from top‐ranked Ph.D.‐granting programs, we examine the labor market for academic agricultural economists. The results suggest that higher quality publications have a greater impact on annual earnings, that sole authored articles have a higher return than multi‐authored articles, and that no wage premium exists for being the lead author of a non‐alphabetic article.
