Freakonomics: Housing prices compared to birth rate

This is an interesting connection that was made between housing prices and birth rates. The study ended in 2007 before the majority of the housing crisis, it would be interesting to find out how foreclosure has really effected the birth rates in depressed areas since.

  1. If this correlation is legitimate, I guess people assumed that they were going to have a higher standard of living due to the equity of their houses etc. But I think the housing prices is a fraction of many other economic variable that caused people to think like that
