| Summary/Abstract |
This article compares the amount of land designated for various uses in the Jewish and Arab municipalities in Israel between the years 2003–13. It is generally accepted that the Arab-Jewish conflict in Israel is heavily based on land ownership. This conflict still has implications for the policies and actions of the State of Israel on the one hand, and the attitudes and behaviours of the Arab population on the other. Two main conclusions emerge from this article. The first is that in 2013, the area per capita used for residential living in Arab localities was larger, presumably because of the lack of high-rise buildings. The second conclusion is that the areas designated for economic and public purposes in the Arab sector are much smaller. The Israeli government should therefore allocate additional government land to the Arab local authorities.

| Summary/Abstract |
Various studies conducted in recent years have found that in many cases, consumer behaviour in the US does not correspond with assumptions associated with rational behaviour. One of the areas examined in this context is the impact of the zero price. This article takes two experiments that examined the zero price effect in the US and repeats them in Israel to check if Israeli consumer behaviour in this field is similar to that of American consumers. The results show that at least in terms of the zero price effect, Israeli consumer behaviour differs from that of American consumers: while American consumers are greatly influenced by the opportunity to receive free products, Israeli consumers are far less influenced by the opportunity to receive free items.

| Summary/Abstract |
This article examines the relationship between education levels and incomes of wage earners in Israel in 2014. Previous studies found that there is a demand for workers with education in general and for higher education in particular, such that people with academic degrees enjoy higher wages. However, some of the studies published in recent years claim that the ability of people with academic degrees to integrate into the workforce has decreased. It is therefore expected that the benefit of having an academic degree, will decrease. This article shows that the marginal effect of the number of years of education on income in Israel in 2014, though decreasing, is not negligible and hardly negative.

| Summary/Abstract |
There is an issue which often emerges whenever nearing an election campaign - the fear of an 'election year economics' and the damage it brings. The fear is that the government will implement policies aimed at 'benefiting the people' in order to win re-election, such as increasing public expenditures, introducing tax cuts, raising salaries, etc. These actions, however, benefit the people only in the short term. Over the long run they may cause great damage as they force governments to borrow or print money, or to choose another route, of tax increases or government budget cuts, to be applied soon after the elections. Both options demonstrate how election economics can be seen as something akin to a 'bribe' given to voters, which damages not only the economy, but the entire political culture as well. Thus, it is interesting to examine whether there is an election economy in Israel. The article covers the three decades from 1982 to 2010. The findings show that during this period, the use of election economics in Israel decreased, and that in recent campaigns it seems to have completely disappeared.

| Summary/Abstract |
This article measures whether the Israeli government adopted a policy of affirmative action towards the Arab minority during the period 2004-12 within the parameters of local government. Unlike previous research, it focuses only on permanent fiscal allotments and ignores one-off payments. The general trend evident from the findings of this article is one of an increase in fiscal allotments to Arab sector local authorities

| Summary/Abstract |
This article seeks to determine the effect of the amount of public debt on the long-run economic growth of the Israeli economy, using data from the years 1983–2013. The accepted economic perspective is that the influence of public debt on the economy depends on the ratio of the size of the debt to GDP. This article will also measure the influence of the size of public debt in accordance with this ratio, with the implication being that the larger the debt, the larger the ratio of debt to GDP. It will indicate that the relationship between the ratio of public debt to GDP and economic growth appears graphically as an inverted U shape. Such a relationship implies that for relatively low levels of debt to GDP ratio there is a positive effect on growth and only at higher levels of this ratio does the marginal effect become negative. The article was not able to locate the exact inflection point at which the influence becomes negative, but it can be determined that this point lies within the range of a debt to GDP ratio of 130% and greater. These results are contrary to other results which have shown that the negative influence begins at a ratio of 90%.

| Summary/Abstract |
Social Work as a profession plays a fundamental role in the development of the state, especially in assisting the most vulnerable parts of the population by way of contributing to the building of a fairer society and collective solidarity. Social work in Israel finds its professional space in several diverse fields with social work professionals using a wide variety of methodologies with individuals, groups and communities. This article discusses the evolution of the social work profession since Israel’s establishment in 1948, the welfare perspective that evolved over the years, and the vicissitudes in its underlying social values and ethical codes.

| Summary/Abstract |
Using the Mincer equation and the Oaxaca decomposition, this article examines what part of the gender wage gap in Israel during the years 2005–16 can be explained by differences in demographic attributes and preferences of men and women and what part cannot be explained by these variables, hence indicates gender discrimination. Findings show that during the examined period, there was no systematic change in the unexplained wage gap. However, in the years 2017–18, the unexplained wage gap between men and women began to decrease.
