Preface
Wassily Leontief and Walter Isard have been inspirational in our research for
decades. However, there have been several others who have been influential and
directly helpful. A few of their names include Ben Stevens, Leon Moses, Geoff
Hewings,BillMiernyk,CharlieTiebout,BillBeyers,RonMiller,KarenPolenske,
JeanPaelinck,MichaelLahr,RandyJackson,andJanOosterhaven.
Several chapters have additional authors to the book coeditors. A few are
UniversityofSouthernCaliforniaprofessors.Manyarecurrentandformerdoctoral
research assistants (some of them now professors) without whose hard work and
technical skills much of this research could not have completed. You may also
observethatmost(butnotall)wereKorean,Chinese,andVietnamese.Thisspeaks
