Theories of regional integration typically analyze the regional integration process from the perspective of a single discipline, usually economics. However, such one-dimensional analytical frameworks cannot fully capture the richness and complexity of the inherently multi-dimensional regional...

This paper introduces an alternative index to measure the external sector from a different focus. The indicator, called the “external sector development index” (SXi), is a new analytical tool for studying the external sector behaviour of any country or region. The SXi has four objectives....

This paper will present a new definition and classification about policy modeling. Additionally, this paper proposes a new index is entitled “The Policy Modeling Research Consistency Index (PMC) Index.” There are four basic phases in the implementation of PMC-Index. The first phase is the...

This paper is interested to introduce an alternative free trade area model to promote fast economic growth at the least developed countries (LDC's). This new model of free trade area is called “The Nano-Free Trade Territory (NFTT) Model”. The idea is to generate jobs and indirect...

This paper seeks to examine the technical and theoretical orientation of the American Economic Review (AER) journal from 1911 until 2011. Arguably one of the most potent journals in economics, AER has been a pillar in the development of economics as a science through its focus on novel...

This paper will present a new group of indicators to analyze the performance of ports. Hence, this paper is divided into two parts. The first part will present a new model of analysis to evaluate how the port cargo openness, the productivity level, the cargo expansion, and the technological...

This paper is interested to analyze the difference that exist between economic modelling and policy modelling from a theoretical and technical perspective. The same research is taking such as main bibliographical reference to Journal of Policy Modeling and the Economic Modelling (journal) to...

This paper is interested to evaluate the risk and vulnerability of Singapore in case of a mega natural disasters. We are using multidimensional mathematical modeling, physics and mapping in real time. Finally, this paper also like to suggest some policies and recommendations in Cases of natural...

This paper is interested to propose an alternative indicator to evaluate the ports productivity performance. This indicator is called the ports intensity productivity equation. The main objective of the ports intensity productivity equation is to evaluate the performance of ports as a whole. We...
