Yinon Cohen

Yinon Cohen, an Israeli sociologist, is the Yosef Hayim Yerushalmi Professor of Israel and Jewish Studies at Columbia University.^{[citation needed]}

Cohen holds a B.A. from Hebrew University in Jerusalem and an M.A and Ph.D. from SUNY at Stony Brook.^{[citation needed]}

He is known for his research on international migration, social stratification, and labor markets. He has studied earnings assimilation of immigrants in Israel, Germany, and the United States; socioeconomic ethnic and gender gaps in Israel,^[1] income inequality in Israel; and industrial relations in Israel.^[2]

Cohen's appointment to the Yerushalmi chair was controversial because he has been a critic of Israeli policy and because the search committee included two prominent critics of Israel.^[3]^[4]^[5] He is described by The Forward as leaning "leftward on Israeli politics".^[6]
