Abstract
This study focuses upon the effect of intra-university location as it influences the salaries of academics, as it differs for men and women, and as it relates to sex-typing of university locations. The findings indicate the greater importance of intra-university location in determining the salaries of academic men compared to women. However, certain patterns do emerge for both sexes. Namely, for some types of locations, the salary returns are dependent primarily upon attainment levels; for others, they are not; and in almost all cases these effects are more marked for men. Moreover, we discern a particular pattern of salary returns to sex-typed location. That is, for both sexes, certain same sex-typed locations are advantageous, and opposite sex-typed locations are generally disadvantageous, although again the effects are stronger for men than women. In conclusion, the article discusses implications that these observed patterns have for the operation of sex-disparity in salaries within the academic institution.
