Yes, there are all types of conflicting studies.
Those done by organizations to the political left or those that support unions develop studies indicating that PS unions employees are underpaid.
Those done by organizations to the political right and most newspapers (Seattle Times had an interesting study) show that they are typically overpaid.
For example, here is the board of directors of the organization you quoted the study from:
National Institute on Retirement - Board of Directors
Jim Mosman, NIRS Secretary/Treasurer
Executive Director, National Council on Teacher Retirement
Jack Ehnes, Board Member
Chief Executive Officer, California State Teachers’ Retirement System
Laurie Fiori Hacking, Board Member
Executive Director, Minnesota Teachers Retirement Association
Pat McElligott, Board Member
President, National Conference on Public Employee Retirement Systems
