<p>As I know,professors of professional schools(MED,BUSINESS,LAW) have much higher salaries.</p>
<p>So,how about others?</p>
<p>For instance,salaries between economics,mathematics,computer science?</p>
<p>I think you are getting few responses because salaries vary not only between fields, but between institutions. For example, an urban university will pay more than a rural one (tied to cost of living). A college with a huge endowment and few budgetary concerns will pay more than a state university facing annual budget cuts. There are other factors as well, sometimes including each new hire’s ability to negotiate.</p>
<p>The main factor affecting faculty salary, however, is whether there is a non-academic market for the subfield. That is why faculty in business, law, medicine and the sciences can expect much higher salaries than faculty in the humanities, for example. Also, supply and demand is at work here. Need for accounting professors is currently outstripping supply, so accounting salaries are rising. But this trend, like all trends, may not last long, especially if there are lots of accounting PhDs about to enter the market, which I suspect might be the case.</p>
<p>Differentiating between faculty salaries in econ, math and CS is difficult to do in a general way. It would be easier to do on an institution-by-institution, or even a state-by-state basis. For this, just consult the Chronicle of Higher Education’s annual issue on faculty salaries. It usually comes out in late August or early September. You can likely access last year’s issue online through your university library.</p>
