Abstract
The comparison between the Israeli and the U.S. law shows that there are insignificant differences between the Israeli and the U.S. laws. Those insignificant differences cannot justify incurring the high costs of incorporating or going public in the U.S. The conclusion we reach from this comparison is that law does not matter. This conclusion is supported by two sets of data.
