research
The Koret-Milken Institute Fellows Program has published more than 60 research papers and produced numerous other working papers. This work is unique in several ways:
  • Our research is relevant and in demand.
    Research topics typically are selected in consultation with a government entity to confirm that the research is needed.
  • Our research is solutions-oriented.
    Though our research topics are wide-ranging, they share a common thread: market solutions to Israel's social, economic and global challenges.
  • Our research focuses on Israel.
    This Israeli perspective, which most other academic research fails to incorporate, connects our research to Israel's realities, challenges and opportunities.
  • Our research is mostly in Hebrew.
    This makes our work accessible to all Israeli citizens and decision-makers.
All research is available to the public and can be downloaded for free on this website. Browse by years or by topics using the drop down menu.
