  • Retail Prices in a City*
    Retail Prices in a City Alon Eizenberg Saul Lach The Hebrew University and CEPR The Hebrew University and CEPR Merav Yiftach Israel Central Bureau of Statistics July 2017 Abstract We study grocery price differentials across neighborhoods in a large metropolitan area (the city of Jerusalem, Israel). Prices in commercial areas are persistently lower than in residential neighborhoods. We also observe substantial price variation within residential neighborhoods: retailers that operate in peripheral, non-a­ uent neighborhoods charge some of the highest prices in the city. Using CPI data on prices and neighborhood-level credit card data on expenditure patterns, we estimate a model in which households choose where to shop and how many units of a composite good to purchase. The data and the estimates are consistent with very strong spatial segmentation. Combined with a pricing equation, the demand estimates are used to simulate interventions aimed at reducing the cost of grocery shopping. We calculate the impact on the prices charged in each neighborhood and on the expected price paid by its residents - a weighted average of the prices paid at each destination, with the weights being the probabilities of shopping at each destination. Focusing on prices alone provides an incomplete picture and may even be misleading because shopping patterns change considerably. Specifically, we find that interventions that make the commercial areas more attractive and accessible yield only minor price reductions, yet expected prices decrease in a pronounced fashion. The benefits are particularly strong for residents of the peripheral, non-a­ uent neighborhoods. We thank Eyal Meharian and Irit Mishali for their invaluable help with collecting the price data and with the provision of the geographic (distance) data.

  • From Har Nof to Har Shalom, Terrorism Affects Us All Parashat Toldot, November 21, 2014/29 Cheshvan 5775 Rabbi Adam J
    From Har Nof to Har Shalom, Terrorism Affects Us All Parashat Toldot, November 21, 2014/29 Cheshvan 5775 Rabbi Adam J. Raskin, Congregation Har Shalom, Potomac, MD The screensaver on my office computer is a picture I found on the internet of a titled green Israeli street sign with the words “Har Shalom,” along with a big white arrow pointing down the street. I have yet to locate that exact street sign, but I know it is somewhere in the vicinity of B’nai Brak, a town you probably recognize from the Passover Haggadah, where the five famous rabbis were conducting an all-night seder that was interrupted by their students telling them the time had come to recite the morning prayers. Har Shalom is a neighborhood within B’nai Brak, just east of Tel Aviv, and every time I turn on my computer I feel that our Har Shalom and that Har Shalom are connected, at least in cyber space. My screen saver is but one of the many ways that Israel is a part of my daily consciousness. Har Shalom, the one in Bnai Brak, is about an hour from Har Nof. And besides sharing the same first word, Har, both are bastions of fervent religiosity. Har Nof, the Jerusalem neighborhood, is the epicenter of the latest terrorist massacre, in of all places a synagogue, where four rabbis and a Druze police officer were murdered by Palestinian terrorists bearing meat cleavers, knives, and pistols. The images of this attack are so gruesome I have wondered about the casualness with which they have been shared on Facebook and other media.
