Among her most interesting research was the idea that teenage pregnancy may be a rational choice. In addition, this WSJ story gives some of her dramatic family background.

A high-school reunion turned economist Cecilia A. Conrad into a contrarian, at least on the issue of teenage pregnancy.
She was an assistant professor at Barnard College in 1987 when she returned to the mostly black Dallas high school where she'd been valedictorian 15 years before. As part of a class that included a throng of girls who'd had babies as teenagers, Dr. Conrad wasn't surprised to find herself, at age 33, the only new mother at the reunion.
Yet Dr. Conrad was struck by how well many of her classmates had fared despite early and often out-of-wedlock motherhood. Almost none had sunk into prolonged poverty or welfare dependence, as conventional wisdom might dictate. One was a laboratory technician. Another was an inspector with the Food and Drug Administration. A third was a veteran Postal Service worker.

The bulk of the career section was directly copied and pasted from Conrad's bio on Lever for Change's website. I've reworked the section to cover Conrad's career using a variety of sources. Emilyp99 ( talk) 04:08, 22 October 2020 (UTC)
