Preserving competition and economic welfare in Israel's PV market
Energy-efficiency policies targeting consumers may not save energy in the long run
Regulating the production and incentivizing the purchase of energy-efficient cars has long been a primary policy recommendation to curb the world's ever-increasing energy usage. However, as cars become increasingly energy efficient, the cost of using them decreases, and cheaper usage costs provide a strong economic motivation to increase the usage of these cars. A rich body of literature examining this ‘rebound effect’ under the fuel efficiency s…
The mobility preferences of ICT knowledge workers
Studies investigating the spatial distribution of knowledge workers focus mainly on the factors that draw them to large primary cities. Second-ranked cities have trouble attracting and retaining these workers. We investigated whether there is a difference between the mobility preferences of knowledge workers residing in second-ranked cities and those of their peers in large primary cities. We used a field survey among workers in information and c…
Privatization, demographic growth, and perceived sustainability
In 2005, the State of Israel established a new classification— renewing kibbutzim . This study examines the relationship between the extent of privatization and the various forms of demographic growth that were permissible under the new classification and their impact on the perceived sustainability of the kibbutz in these communal communities. We collected data at the kibbutz level via interviews with community managers and at the individual lev…
The role of coordination failure in the movement of future knowledge workers away from the periphery
Does greater accessibility to higher education reduce wage inequality? The case of the Arab minority in Israel
Many studies assessing national policy reforms in education focus on the likelihood of acquiring an advanced education and the associated returns in the labor market. In this paper, the authors investigate the impact of the Israeli Academic Colleges Law that was designed to promote the acquisition of higher education among all segments of the Israeli population. They found that this law, in fact, contributed to making higher education accessible …
Measuring Temporal Dimensions of the Intensity of Violent Political Conflict
Effect of the Israeli “Green Schools” Reform on Pupils’ Environmental Attitudes and Behavior
The objective of this study was to explore the mechanism through which a reform in environmental education (EE) programs affects pupils’ relation to the environment. We surveyed 589 pupils aged 9–12 years in three types of Israeli elementary school: regular schools, schools that implement an EE program (designated “green schools”), and schools that implement a more intensive EE program (designated “persistent green schools”). Analyzing the result…
Intergenerational religious transmission mechanisms among second-generation migrants
Is There a Distinct Israeli Diaspora? Impact of Temporal Sociopolitical Circumstances on the Formation of Diaspora Groups
The initial motivation for the current research stems from the inability of existing definitions of diaspora groups to distinguish between former Israelis and longtime diaspora Jews, despite apparent differences between the two groups. This article begins by presenting the various approaches to the concept 'diaspora' and outlines four components that most definitions share: (i) similar ethno-national origins; (ii) dispersion; (iii) attachment to …
