“The Israeli Economy”
Paul Rivlin, All Levels, Emory University, Spring 2008
This course traces the history of the pre-independence and modern economy, examining the role of population growth and immigration; problems of inflation and stabilization; the balance of payments; and sectoral developments. It analyzes the role of the Histadrut, the defense budget, the economics of the peace process of the 1990s and Israel’s integration into the world economy. The effects of the Second Intifada and the current rapid growth of the economy are also examined.
