"I was highly impressed by his willingness to tackle a very theoretical subject that was not researched very much, owing to the difficulty of modeling and data collection. However, he succeeded in both model building and data collection in China. The data collected for his work were unique in that they included both primary and secondary sources. I must also remark that he has a good grasp of statistical techniques." ---- Israel D. Nebenzahl, Dean, The Faculty of the Social Sciences & the Humanities The College of Judea and Samaria
