Martha J. Bailey is a professor of economics at the University of California, Los Angeles. She is also a Research Associate of the National Bureau of Economic Research, and a member of the executive committee of the American Economic Association.[1] She was previously a professor of economics at the University of Michigan from 2007 to 2020, where she was the first woman internally promoted to tenure in that department.[2] In November 2017, Bloomberg Businessweek named her someone to watch in 2018, because "Her research on the positive economic effects of contraception has influenced debates around health care and pay equity."[3]
Her research focus is long-run perspectives on how modern contraception changed women's childbearing, career decisions, and earnings histories. She has also studied the short and longer-term impact of the Great Society programs.[4]
