ABSTRACT

The asymmetries academic salary theme comparisons fit in the context of topics such as the measurement of productivity, academic labour market, welfare organization and brain drain. From the research of academic positions for each European country, we imagined the standardization of the academic positions into a single European model, according to the bonds of the similarity of roles between the countries that were analysed. The objective of this paper is to demonstrate whether it is possible to design a European model of standard academic positions and salaries and what are the determining factors for differences. This objective was achieved by creating a data set of official data and applied multivariate methodologies: clustering, regression model, ANOVA and inferential statistics. This study proves that in Europe it is not possible to hypothesize a single model of salaries for academics and it demonstrates the reasons.
