Reform Plans

For policy-makers

ICSEP regularly undertakes original studies in order to prepare detailed reform plans for Israel’s policy-makers.

In the mid-1980s ICSEP laid the groundwork for the anti-inflationary policies that proved so successful and for the privatized immigrant absorption policies that enabled the successful integration of the vast majority of immigrants from the former Soviet Union.

ICSEP has regularly undertaken original studies in order to prepare for Israeli policy-makers detailed reform plans. ICSEP laid the groundwork for the successful anti-inflationary policies in the mid-eighties, and for the “privatized” immigrant absorption policies that facilitated the successful integration of the great mass of immigrants from the former Soviet Union. A subsequent reform plan, “Essential Conditions for the Renewal of Growth”, spelled out a number of concrete steps that could have huge effects if implemented. It was presented to the Israel Government under incoming Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu in September 1999 and to the Knesset.

A follow-up plan was prepared for Prime Minister Ehud Barak. It updated earlier plans, and provided a detailed analysis of the causes for growing budget deficits and how to cut them. A third plan suggested steps to enhance productivity by correcting grave distortions in the labor market.

    The students also go on at least one field trip to an Israeli enterprise.

  • University Seminars

    The only Israeli university students who study market economics are those majoring or minoring in Economics, and even they mostly study economic techniques, not philosophy.

    Since 2000, ICSEP has offered a seminar at Tel Aviv, the Hebrew, and Ben-Gurion universities entitled “The Free Market and its Critics” based on Milton and Rose Friedman’s Free to Choose book and films.
