Manifestoes without Substance
The word “manifesto” is derived from the Latin word “manifestum,” meaning clear or evident. It serves as a comprehensive and detailed document that outlines a political party’s vision for society, its proposed solutions to various issues, and its commitments to the electorate if they are elected to govern. Manifestos are also a means for political parties to establish credibility and demonstrate their understanding of the challenges faced by soci…
Life Time Cost of Public Servants
PREAMBLE The government of Pakistan is facing a growing financial challenge due to the high number of non-productive government employees. Politicians pride themselves on placing their favourites in the public sector knowing that the taxpayer has no say in the process and will pay the cost. Yet no one looks at what the cost of this dirigiste politics is! Not only are most political employees mostly employed in positions where they are not product…
Construction without Real Estate Development
Real estate development in Pakistan suffers from a bad reputation, both in policy circles and in the public. Detractors frequently claim that investing in real estate is unproductive and should be discouraged. Officials often put forward unsubstantiated claims that the real estate business is riddled with illegal activity of all sorts. However, when one looks back at Pakistan’s foray into real estate development activity from the date of Independ…
A Small Club
1. THE STOCK MARKET THAT DOES NOT GROW!Pakistan’s stock market tends to make headlines, sometimes because of record highs * that make it the ‘best performing market of the region’, and sometimes because of the crashes. However, the degree to which it contributes to capital formation in the country is not a topic of study, while the ensuing ownership and governance structure is hardly ever made a part of public discourse.One such study concluded t…
Towards a Stable Economy and Politics
Pakistan throughout its history has seen regime changes from more democratic to 1 more authoritarian and vice versa. This has meant that the country’s political and social landscapes have remained volatile and unstable. Many economists argue that this instability has partly contributed to the stifled and irregular growth patterns in the country. The average GDP growth rate has been irregular from decade to decade, with an overall long-run downwar…
Estimating the Footprint of Government on the Economy
INTRODUCTIONTotal Government Expenditure and the percentage that it represents of the total Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is often taken as a measure of the size of the government’s footprint and its involvement in the economy. A low percentage reflects that the government’s capacity to influence the economy through fiscal instruments is limited, and low rates are often cited as prime reasons for governments pursuing aggressive taxation policies t…
Pide’S Charter of Economy
Despite experiencing extreme economic and political instability, Pakistan has still been unable to break with the ramshackle of its unstable development enigma. Pakistan’s economic indicators over the last seventy-two years have fluctuated widely: the sixties, the eighties, and a significant part of the 2000s registered high growth episodes (over 6.0 per cent), with low growth observed in other periods. In the last twelve years (2008-20), growth …
The IMF Choice
Strangely “to go or not to go to the IMF” continues to dominate the economic debate in Pakistan. All manner of statements have come out of the economic leaders in the government and their advisers. “We don’t need to go to the IMF if we ban importing luxury items.” “We can borrow our way out of our problems for our problems are only current financing.” “With borrowing, IMF will reduce any conditions.” These statements merely show the lack of under…
Lahore’s Urban Dilemma
The rules currently are too complex, detailed, often self-contradictory, and subject to multiple interpretations. The permissions and procedures written therein can slow down development as envisioned by PM for the welfare of the country. Building and zoning rules are conflated. Building rules are mainly for safety and curbing environmental externalities. In this regard, setbacks and heights are arbitrarily related to plot size and road width. Th…
Opportunity to Excel
Availability of opportunities implies that people have a range of life options, specifically economic, to pick from, and have a realistic chance to adopt what they want to do and succeed in it. For Pakistan, where nearly sixty percent of the population is aged under 30 years, opportunities become even more significant. The fact that we live in a world where technology is changing the way things are done at an unprecedented pace makes it very easy…
Doing Development Better
The Pakistan Institute of Development Economics (PIDE) organised a conference on the development policy of Pakistan with a focus on planning and public investment policy. At the Conference, a PIDE study entitled, Doing Development Better1 was launched and discussed. The key findings of the conference are listed below
Daniel H. Pink. Drive
Daniel Pink points out that Encarta was developed by a of well-paid team by Microsoft as a flagship project, but it lost out to Wikipedia that was developed by people without payment. Modern human resource management (HRM) emerged in the industrial revolution and was based on extrinsic motivations—“carrots and sticks” such as “if you do this, you get that consequence”. Thus, promotions in a hierarchy were offered as were bonuses and salary increa…
Developing Research and a Research Culture
This paper argues that successful public policy requires engaged research developing ideas and evidence from diverse vantage points. Pakistan’s social science research remains fragmented, under-resourced and dependent on external agendas. We describe a five-year pilot programme to enhance Pakistan’s research culture. Seventy-two crowd-sourced and competitively-selected projects at 46 geographically dispersed institutions were supported. Provincia…
The Principles of Animal Advocacy in Islam
The Qurān—the scripture of the Muslims, which purports to be from the Creator of the Universe—presents a rational, holistic, and integrated view of life, where the human being is considered an integral, coexistential part of nature who has responsibilities as representative of the Creator on earth. This responsibility is both based on, and directed by, four principles/realizations called “ecognitions,” from which all animal rights can be formulat…
