This volume is part of the IS3E ongoing research series that seeks to discuss the use of statistical science in economics and in the other functional areas of business administration by taking a cross-disciplinary quantitative and qualitative approach. By disseminating such timely original research findings, this volume contributes to an enlightened and robust discussion of theoretical and empirical issues. The research papers contained in this volume achieve this by addressing contemporary issues in three important areas: international financial economics, statistical science and economics, and applied economics and finance. Some of the timely topics presented in this volume are: an explanation of the US trade deficit with a two-country model, an investigation into the validity of the loan pushing hypothesis of international bank lending, a comparative examination of various models of international trade applied to international travel, the new approach for the analysis of 2x2 tables derived from the New Quality Philosophy in statistics, a comparative analysis of the use of statistics in the West and former East. The breadth and width of these topics are certain to interest a diverse and wide scholarly audience and serve to encourage further research into these subjects.
