Abstract: We investigate how economists would choose among academic positions as a function of the levels of attributes such as department rank,their teaching load, and their salary. We identified all 1735 faculty in the top fifty economics departments and asked each one "Would you prefer to work in Department A or Department B," questions." A latent-class choice model was estimated, identifying four classes. What is preferred and the rates at which attributes substitute for attributes, and for money, vary substantially across the four classes. The largest two classes made choices consistent with homo economicus
