The AIX Group is a think tank of Israelis, Palestinians and Internationals, that studies the economics of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and its Two States Solution. The AIX Group was founded by Gilbert Benhayoun from France, Arie Arnon from israel and Saeb Bamya from Palestine. The group is active since 2003 and its research is available in its web-site, at http://aix-group.org/. Since 2014 I serve in the Steering Committee of the AIX Group.
