In 1989, after several years of discussion and negotiation, the
Regional Econornics Applications Laboratory (REAL) was formed. This
unique relationship between the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago and
the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign has been a
significant source of intellectual inspiration for many students,
visiting colleagues and members of the participating institutions
for the past decade. The idea for REAL was hatched by Philip
Israilevich and Geoffrey Hewings in typical Chicago style - in the
back room of a local bar. In early December 1997, their
collaboration came to an untimely end when Philip died after a
three-year battle with cancer. The challenge of moving across a
spectrum from theory to model development to implementation and
interpretation provided the underlying motivation for REAL's
formation together with an equally important component, namely the
translation of many of these efforts into a form that could be
understood and implemented by policy makers. For Philip, REAL and
the Regional Science Association International provided the forums
for his intellectual endeavors, although he also contributed many
papers in banking. In recognition of his contributions and to
provide a sense of the current research in the fields in which he
published, many of the authors of these chapters assembled in
Chicago in November, 1998 to participate in a small seminar in his
honor. Several others who were not able to come nevertheless
contributed chapters to this volume. Subsequently, all of the
papers have been revised and updated."
