Abed Assli studied economics and business administration at Haifa University and was one of the Koret-Milken Institute Fellows for two years. His first year he worked in the Knesset with MK Nadia Chilou and worked on an array of issues concerning agricultural, education, and economic development. His exceptional individual research project focused on market-based alternatives to higher education financing and was widely reported in the Israeli press as a breakthrough idea in funding university education. Over the second year, Abed worked independently on the Institute's Northern Israel project. Specifically, he adapted and localized the idea of a tourism assessment district to fund tourism infrastructure that has enormous funding implications for Northern Israel. Again, he demonstrated exceptional skills in synthesizing diverse empirical research on tax increment financing, bond issuance, and public finance mechanisms relevant to economic development objectives.

Now Abed is on of the Regional Development Team at The Reut Institute.
