Aaron Institute for Economic Policy Dedicated to the memory of Aaron Dovrat

The vision of the Aaron Institute for Economic Policy in the Tiomkin School of Economics is to support sustainable economic growth and social resilience, along with poverty reduction, by designing a strategy based on measurable targets and proposing detailed plans for economic policies based on the most current international knowledge. We focus on reforms to raise employment and GDP per hour worked (labor productivity).

The primary metric for sustainable economic growth, GDP per capita, remains below the standards observed in leading developed nations, as does the overall productivity of the Israeli economy. Through extensive economic research, Aaron Institute provides objectives, innovative policy tools, and reform proposals designed to stimulate growth, enhance the quality of employment, and boost productivity.

 

Aaron Institute's core objective is to exert influence on Israel's socio-economic policies. We seek to craft enduring strategies to address the spectrum of economic and social challenges of the Isareli economy, with a particular focus on households at the lower half of the income distribution. This encompasses significant segments of the Arab and ultra-Orthodox communities. Elevating employment and productivity among these groups will make a substantial contribution to our goals of fostering economic growth, bolstering social resilience, and reducing poverty. Moreover, our research serves to shape professional discourse and ignite informed discussions rooted in reliable information and socio-economic research, offering practical tools for achieving these objectives.
