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.
