Economic consequences of wars in the land of Israel in the last hundred years, 1914–2014 / Schein, Andrew

Schein, Andrew	Journal Article
	0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)

Summary/Abstract

This article presents a case study of the economic consequences of 14 wars in the Land of Israel in the last hundred years. For each war, it reviews the direct costs and benefits of the war and the possible changes in the economic environment due to the war. One rule that emerges from this study is that the most important economic consequence of wars is not winning or losing but the change in the economic environment from the war. However, these changes are not easy to quantify and sometimes they are difficult to even determine and identify.

Expectations for peace in Israel and the value of the Israeli shekel, 1999–2008 / Schein, Andrew

	0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)

Publication

2012.

Summary/Abstract

This article presents a regression analysis of some of the factors that influenced the value of the Israeli shekel from 1999 to 2008. The regression results show that changes in domestic expectations for peace in Israel had a significant effect on the value of the shekel. These results combined with a review of the political and economic developments in 2002 suggest that the exchange rate crises in the Israeli foreign currency market in the second quarter of 2002 was due to a decrease in expectations for peace and that the exchange rate stabilized in the end of the quarter due an increase in expectations for peace in Israel in the end of June.

Female labor force participation in Israel, 1955-2017 / Schein, Andrew

Schein, Andrew	Journal Article
	0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)

Summary/Abstract

This article reviews the female labour force participation rates (LFPR) of Jewish and Arab women in Israel from 1955 to 2017. One finding of the review is that the female Jewish LFPR are very high, while the female Arab LFPR are very low. We argue that the most likely explanation for this difference is cultural forces in the respective communities which either encourage or discourage women from working. We find support for this idea from LFPR data within subsectors of the two groups, Bedouin women living in the south of Israel, and Jewish women born in the land of Israel.

Publication

2013.

Summary/Abstract

This paper examines the growth of per capita GDP in the West Bank and Gaza Strip (WBG) from 1950 to 2005. Data from Israel's Central Bureau of Statistics and the World Bank is integrated with Angus Maddison's estimates of per capita GDP of the WBG and Israel to produce new estimates of per capita GDP for the WBG from 1950-2005 in 1990 international dollars. With these new estimates, it is possible to compare the growth in WBG from an international perspective. One finding is that from 1968 to 1999 the economic growth in WBG was the tenth highest in the world.
