Abstract: The objective of the 1998 Tracking Survey conducted by the CWAE was to examine differences in the professional experiences of female agricultural economists, including the salary study presented here. A comparative analysis presents detailed frequency, performance and pay measures for all types of employers. The econometric analysis of salary focuses more specifically on agricultural economists currently employed in the Land Grant System. The importance of salary to an individual, their rank, experience, refereed journal articles and book chapters appear to have the greatest effect on salary. Although there is no clear gender bias, the number and age of children has negative implications on the salary earned by women.
