Yoav
Goldstein

Yoav Goldstein is a PhD student in the Eitan Berglas School of Economics at Tel Aviv University under the supervision of Dr. Analia Schlosser.

Yoav employs econometric methods to study questions related to the economics of education and health economics. His dissertation focuses on human capital formation and labour-market experiences in Israel.

Specifically, he aims to unravel the factors that underlie important educational choices made by young adults in Israel and the long- term consequences in terms of their careers and other outcomes. Through this research, Yoav plans to gain a deeper understanding of the role of education in expanding economic opportunities and provide valuable insights for policymakers and educators. Ultimately, his work aims to support the development and implementation of effective educational policies and programs that better serve the needs of young people.

Yoav grew up in the Upper Galilee, specifically in Kiryat Shemona and Kibbutz Sde Nehemia, and currently lives in Tel Aviv. He obtained a BA in philosophy, politics, and economics and an MA in economics at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. Prior to his academic studies, Yoav worked in agriculture in the Upper Galilee area and was an active participant in various educational and social activities in the community. During his childhood, Yoav played soccer for Kiryat Shemona’s youth team and, during his university years, was a member of the Hebrew University team in the national futsal league. In his free time, Yoav enjoys spending time in nature and practicing yoga.
