Kyrill Shraberman talk on “The Magic Shot – Quantifying Long-Term Costs of Obesity in Israel”

Join the Graduate School of Public Policy for a research webinar featuring Kyrill Shraberman from the Taub Center for Social Policy Studies in Israel. The talk will present an application of the National Transfer Accounts (NTA) framework to estimate the economic impact of obesity, exploring how it affects labor productivity, healthcare, and pension costs. The session will also discuss potential policy responses, including Ramsey-style taxation of sugar-rich foods, and simulate the long-term economic gains from reducing obesity rates.
