In this up-to-date study of the Israeli economy, Assaf Razin and Efraim Sadka cover the entire economic history of the state, focusing on links between Israel's economic growth, its integration into world markets, its tax and welfare systems, and the political conflicts in the Middle East. The authors present the first detailed economic analysis of the Palestinian uprising, showing how the unrest has led to a fall in Arab employment in Israel and serious economic loss to the occupied territories with some loss to Israel.

The growing economic openness expressed in the globalization of independent economic systems has created problems as well as opportunities that cross formal borders in new and unexpected ways. Professors Razin and Sadka have compiled a series of papers based on lectures delivered before the 1996 Congress of the International Institute of Public Finance, which explore these issues in selected areas of public finance. The subjects covered range from the consequences of research and development to the redistribution of income and from taxation of multinationals and labor migration to European...

It begins by examining the rationale behind why public pension systems were introduced originally - out of fear that individuals do not adequately save for retirement. It then systematically examines different aspects of reforming these systems. It covers the...

Papers in this volume--the proceedings of a CEPR joint conference with the Bank of Israel and Tel Aviv University's Pinhas Sapir Center for Development--examine the implications of these developments for economic fluctuations and fiscal and monetary policies under alternative exchange rate...
