This book aims to set the intense political debates on one side in
order to do some serious economic analysis. It assumes that a
sovereign independent Palestinian state comes into existence in the
West Bank and Gaza Strip, and proceeds to examine the economic
policies and institutional reforms which would be appropriate for
it. Key recommendations are that such a state should: * adopt a
non-discriminatory trade regime * introduce a new currency with a
currency board and later a hard peg to the euro * establish a new
type of pension scheme combining universal and work-based elements
* adopt an economic strategy geared to the modern knowledge-based
global economy and based on the identification of clusters, and *
take a forward-looking approach to the compensation of refugees
which relates compensation to the cost of absorbing returning
refugees in a viable and growing economy. Budgetary policy,
corporate governance, financial sector reform and foreign aid
strategy are also discussed, and an incomplete contracts model of
integration is presented. The contributors are internationally
respected economists from a variety of countries and perspectives.
Their analysis should be accessible and relevant to readers of many
kinds, from students and academics involved with development
economics, politics, and international relations through to
policy-makers and those with a general interest in the Middle East.
