An interactive Shiny app built for DATA 557 that explores salary equity across academic disciplines, ranks, and career stages.
https://pavan249.shinyapps.io/faculty-salary-explorer/
The app explores a longitudinal faculty salary dataset from 1976 to 1995 through four core questions about sex-based wage disparities in academia:
| Tab | Question |
|---|---|
| Q1: Starting Salary | Do men and women differ in starting salary at the time they enter the faculty? |
| Q2: Promotion Raises | Do men and women receive different salary increases when promoted from Associate Professor to Full Professor? |
| Q3: Overall Salary | In the most recent observed salary for each faculty member, do salary differences by sex remain after accounting for other factors? |
| Q4: Generalizability | What limitations of the dataset and analysis affect how broadly these results can be interpreted? |
