About

Overview

Professor Ben-Gad obtained his BA in Economics at Hebrew University of Jerusalem and his MA and PhD from the University of Chicago. He has worked in the Research Department of the Bank of Israel, and taught at the University of Houston and the University of Haifa.

He joined City as a Reader in 2007 and served as Head of Department between 2010 to 2013. His research focuses on Dynamic Macroeconomics with applications to taxation, public debt, the economic effects of immigration, as well as the emergence of multiple equilibria in models of economic growth.

Between 2014 to 2016, Professor Ben-Gad served on the US National Academy of Sciences panel on the The Economic and Fiscal Consequences of Immigration.

In 2011 he completed research funded by an ESRC grant that is funded by HM Treasury and HMRC on fiscal policy and immigration.

Professor Ben-Gad has recently appeared on the BBC, CNBC and in the Wall Street Journal discussing the global financial crisis. In 2017 he was appointed a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts (FRSA).
