olli@ucsd.eduEconomics of Modern Israel, a lecture by Tel Aviv University Economist Adi Shany
Description
Presented in partnership with the Lawrence Family Jewish Community Center
Join us on Thursday, April 30 for a joint event with the Lawrence Family Jewish Community Center, featuring Adi Shany, an economist at the Tel Aviv University speaking on The Economics of Modern Israel: Growth, Innovation, and Persistent Challenges.
Israel’s economy is a remarkable story that combines world-leading innovation with deep structural challenges. As the United States’ closest and most stable democratic ally in the Middle East, Israel plays a significant role in U.S. innovation, security, and investment networks. This talk traces Israel’s economic transformation from the 1990s to today, showing how it built a global center for high-tech innovation while facing numerous challenges.
Presenter: Adi Shany is a Murray Galinson San Diego-Israel Initiative (MGSDII) visiting professor at UC San Diego in the Department of Economics and the Rady School of Management for Spring 2026. She is an economist at Tel Aviv University. Drawing on Israel’s rich data and unique institutional context, her work generates insights into education, healthcare, and market behavior, with implications that extend far beyond Israel. She earned her PhD in Economics from the Hebrew University.
