Maya Haran Rosen

I am a researcher in the Finance Division of the Research Department at the Bank of Israel and a lecturer at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem Business School. I am also a Dean Fellow at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem Business School (since 2026). Previously, I was a postdoctoral fellow at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem in 2025 and a Visiting Postdoctoral Scholar in the Business Economics and Public Policy Department at the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School from 2023 to 2025. I earned my PhD in Finance from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem Business School in 2022.

​

My work spans both policy and academic research. My research primarily focuses on household finance, particularly savings and retirement, financial inclusion, and financial decision-making. I study individuals’ financial decisions and behavior, with a particular interest in financial literacy, confidence, and trust.

 

My PhD dissertation examined financial regulations in Israel that leveraged fintech developments to reduce costs and increase attention to savings.

​

My research also covers financial institutions, financial regulation, and high-tech sector financing.
