- Abstract:
- ABSTRACT: Using individual earnings data from university archives, we analyse the position of university professors within the aggregate income distribution over a time span covering the Kaiserreich, the Weimar Republic, the Third Reich as well as the Federal Republic of Germany. We find that not only did the earnings of professors deteriorate with respect to average incomes, due to the compression of the income distribution, but that professorial earnings no longer sufficed to lift professors into the top 1% of the aggregate income distribution.
