Decomposing the differences in time allocation and research output between Latino and non-Latino White faculty

This study compares the time allocation and research output of Latino faculty relative to their non-Latino counterparts. We applied a single-equation and a two-equation method to decompose the differences in time allocation and research output between Latino and White faculty into the aggregate “explained” and “unexplained” portions. Results showed that Latino and White faculty allocate their time in similar ways among teaching, research and other activities. However, Latino faculty allocated more hours toward work activities without pay than did White faculty. Furthermore, the number of career publications, and presentations produced were similar for Latino and White faculty.
