Public investment efficiency and sectoral economic growth in Pakistan

Abstract

The Pakistan Strategy Support Program (PSSP) is an initiative to strengthen evidence-based policymaking in Pakistan in the areas of rural and agricultural development. Funded by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and implemented by the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI), the PSSP provides analysis in four areas: agricultural production and productivity; water management and irrigation; macroeconomics, markets and trade; and poverty reduction and safety nets. The PSSP is undertaken with guidance from the Government of Pakistan through the federal Planning Commission and a National Advisory Committee, and in collaboration with Innovative Development Strategies (Pvt) Ltd. (IDS), Islamabad, and other development partners. For more information, please visit pssp.ifpri.info. ABOUT the COMPETITIVE GRANTS PROGRAM The Competitive Grants Program (CGP) is a component of the PSSP that provides support to Pakistani researchers on topics addressing the PSSP and related objectives. The goals of the CGP are to strengthen social science research within the academic community of Pakistan and to produce quality papers on important development policy issues. While PSSP working papers are not classified as peer-reviewed final publications, the papers developed under the CGP have been presented in program conferences and subject to reviews at the interim and final report stages. The CGP is guided by an academic Research Advisory Committee. For more information on the CGP, please visit pssp.ifpri.info under the tab capacity strengthening/competitive grants program. This working paper is an output from a CGP grant awarded in June 2012.

Pengaruh Infrastruktur dan Indeks Pembangunan Manusia terhadap Penyerapan Tenaga Kerja serta Implikasi Pertumbuhan Ekonomi

“…Sebelum melakukan analisis jalur maka dilakukan pemihan model yang tepat dengan menggunakan uji chow, uji hausman dan uji Lagrance Multiplier (LM) [18]. Kelebihan penelitian menggunakan data panel adalah data yang digunakan menjadi lebih informatif, variabilitasnya lebih besar, kolinearitas yang rendah [19]. Dengan demikian akan dihasilkan degress of freedom (derajat bebas) yang lebih besar juga lebih efesien [20].…”

Analysis of Regulatory Approaches to Assessing the Effectiveness of Public Investments

“…Например, С. Папайоанноу [18] провел исследование по оценке мультипликатора государственных инвестиций относительно ВВП европейских стран, рассматривая одновременно влияние эффективности функционирования госсектора на величину этого мультипликатора. Аналогичные работы представлены научными коллективами: В.Гаспаром, П.Мауро, К.Паттилло и Р.Эспинозой [19] и М. Куази, С. Аммадом [20].…”
