Hi Davide,
Very glad to hear everything worked out well and that you are happy to be back.
Attached you can find the paper with Shlomo's comments. It seems to me that he considered it as the final paper, but I think that you can certainly address the comments and add whatever you think is necessary and send it to him, maybe with marked changes. I think it's totally up to you. My impression is that he really liked it as is.
Best regards,
Merav

Dear Merav,
coming back was a great experience. I was sad to leave the family, after 60 days always spent together and that I enjoyed a lot. But as soon as I landed in Israel I felt happy and at home, this (complicated) place and its people have done something to me.
My quarantine will be ok, the apartment is beautiful and Team 1 is going out of their way to make me comfortable bringing food and wine, but always keeping a safe distance!
For the paper, I just wanted to see professor Hasson's comments to make the appropriate changes if needed. I also received some interesting feedback from the presentation and wanted to incorporate them in the conclusions. Or I understand that the version I submitted to him was considered like the final one?
Lastly, again, thank you for all the support you and the whole staff provided for my return, I really appreciate it!
Best wishes of health and truly hope to see you soon!

Dear Davide,
Welcome back! So glad you are here.
How does it feel like to be a free person? Kind of, I mean without the family :)
How is the apartment?
Regarding the paper, I asked Shlomo to resend it to me as it's a pdf and I have to take out the mark at this stage, until it will be formally approved by the final project committee headed by the General. As soon as I get it, I'll send it to you. I can tell you he absolutely liked the paper. Well done.
Warm regards,
Merav

Hi Merav,
first of all I really wanted to thank you and all the staff for the support I received during my absence and especially for the adventurous travel back to Israel.
I am truly happy to be back, it's a good sensation and I cannot wait for my family to experience Israel the way I am. I always felt fully part of the course but nothing is like being here!
On another note, I asked my academic advisor, professor Shlomo Hasson, if he had commented my draft paper and he said that you have the marked up copy (see email below).
Can you please send it to me whenever possible? If for any reason it's a hard copy then I can maybe find someone that can bring it here for me.
Thank you again, looking forward to meeting again in person!
Stay safe!
Davide

Dear Shlomo,
I hope to find you in good health, I see that Israel has been doing an outstanding job at dealing with Corona virus and hopefully these days will be behind us not too far away from today.
For myself, as of last night, and after a very unreal trip through empty airports and fully suited up flight assistants, I returned to Tel Aviv. I am really happy to be back, especially because I need to prepare the arrival of my family in light of my next assignment at the Italian Embassy.
I wanted to ask you if you had a chance to comment my draft paper. Today I presented the topic to the class and staff at Mabal and received some interesting suggestions. As you know the deadline for submission is at the end of this month and I am not sure how many iterations I will have to go trough before it's completed.
In the meantime I send you my best wishes for good heath!

Subject: Final Paper draft
Dear Shlomo,
I hope to find you well in these dire times. I am currently in Italy, where I have been in lock-down in my home for the past 4 weeks.
The situation here in Italy seems to be getting better but what will happen in the future is still a big unknown, we are truly in uncharted territory here.
Among the bad things I am enjoying some time with my family and was able to spend some time on my final Mabal paper.
Please find attached the first version of the paper for you comments and suggestions. I waited until today to send you this draft because I did not want to send you a partial one. I hope in this way to be able to give you a better idea of what I wanted to write about.
I take the occasion to wish you a happy Pessach in the hope that our countries, and the entire world, will go through this crisis as soon as possible.
Best wishes,
Davide Salerno

Subject: IMF Regional outlook for the Middle East
Dear Davide,
You may find some interest in the attached IMF report.
Among other things, it explores the impact of global economic slowdown and geopolitical uncertainty on oil prices.
Indeed global economic slowdown may be another driver to be taken into consideration.
Best regards,
Shlomo
