 A Summary and Evaluation of a Report by F. Ginor, Bank of Israel, Tel-Aviv, Israel, Entitled "Analysis and Assessment of the Economic Effect of the U.S. Public Law 480 Title I Program in Israel"Export Programs Research Staff, Development and Trade Analysis Division, Economic Research Service No 347888, Miscellaneous Publications from United States Department of Agriculture, Economic Research Service Abstract: Excerpts from the Preface: Israel is the largest recipient of U.S. food assistance, if measured on a per capita basis. For this reason, it is particularly appropriate to review PL 480 Title I (Agricultural Trade Development and Assistance Act of 1954) and related food assistance programs as they have affected the Israeli economy. These effects may be favorable, functioning in such a manner as to increase consumption, improve external financial reserves, or increase economic activity through investment. It is also necessary to determine whether there have been any unfavorable repercussions, such as displacement of commercial imports, decrease in local agricultural production, loss in farm income because of lower food prices, or discouragement of investment in agriculture.
