Kasey Buckles (born 1978) is a professor of economics at the University of Notre Dame, Research Associate of the National Bureau of Economic Research, Research Fellow of the Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA),[1] and co-editor of the Journal of Policy Analysis and Management[2] She is known for her studies of the declining fertility of American women in recent years.[3]

Buckles earned her PhD in economics from Boston University in 2005.[4]

Research[]

Buckles' research examines the economics of the family, economic demography, and the well-being of children.[5] [6] In work receiving media attention, she has found that children spaced at least two years apart do better on standardized tests,[7] that pregnancies are a leading indicator of economic downturns,[8] that fertility did not recover from the Great Recession as quickly as in previous economic downturns,[3] and that much of the recent decline in fertility in the U.S. can be attributed to a reduction in unintended pregnancies.[9]
