Privatization-A Device for Reforming Public Enterprise Sector in
Pakistan
Authors: Mehdi Istaqbal
Published: August 2018

Privatization as an instrument for development is rmding
significant currency in industrial and developing countries throughout
the world. 1YPically, its need arises from the concerns over efficiency
with which the state can manage public enterprises (PEs) or large and
growing claims of these enterprises on national budgets. In Pakistan its
need emanates from both. Barring a few years in the early 1970s, the
policy of development through private enterprise remained the mainstay
of the Government of Pakistan (GOP) economic policy throughout the four
decades of the country's life. In fact, a policy of privatization i.e.,
transferring public assets to the private sector control remained an
enunciated policy in the 1950s and the 1960s, which was again adopted in
the late 1970s. However· it was not until late the 1980s that concerted
efforts were mounted to breath life into the moribund programme of
privatization. In developing a programme for privatization the question
faced by us concern the size of the existing PE sector, its performance,
constraints in and prerequisite for privatization. The most important
question is can we privatize all PEs, if not, then what productivity
enhancing measures can we take for enterprises which cannot be
privatized in the immediate future.
Causality Test between Money and Income: A Case Study of Selected
Developing Asian Countries (1960-1988)
Authors: Abbas Kalbe
Published: August 2018

Money supply in developing countries, like Pakistan plays an
important role. According to classical theory, supply creates its own
demand. Any increase in money supply will give rise to increase in
prices only but the effect on output will remain unchanged. The
Keynesians argue that aggregate demand determines output, therefore,
fiscal policy is more important. The monetarists on the other hand,
argue that in the short run money and only money matters. In the case of
the rational expectation approach, anticipated changes in money supply
are neutral but short-run unanticipated changes in money supply have a
role in determining the growth of output. Monetary policy is an
effective instrument in the hands of government to obtain the desired
targets such as level of output, unemployment, and prices. Therefore, it
is very important to know whether changes in money supply cause changes
in output or vice versa. In other words, we have to identify the
direction of the causality. If both variables are serially correlated
with each other then we cannot use any of them as a determinant of the
other.
Endogeneity of Monetary Policy Reaction Fun~tion: An Experience
from Pakistan's Economy
Authors: Hasan M. Aynul , Ahmed Qazi Masood
Published: August 2018

Monetary policy, in general, refers to those steps taken by
the Central Bank to achieve such broader objectives of the economy as
growth, employment, external balance and price stability through changes
in the money supply, interest rates and credit policies. The money
supply thus created by the Central Bank should be in response to the
changes in key macroeconomic target variables such as GNP, balance of
payments, inflation, internal debt and unemployment. Indeed, a properly
estimated monetary policy reaction function can provide useful
information regarding such matters as to whether the Central Bank, in
fact, has been systematically accommodating to the changes in the target
variables. The reaction function can also provide insight into the
question as to what should be the relevant indicators of the monetary
policy. In addition, as argued by Havrilesky (1967), it may also play a
crucial role in the formulation of long-term monetary policy strategy.
The other important consideration in the development of a monetary
policy reaction function pertains to the endogeneity of the monetary
policy. As pointed out by Goldfeld and Blinder (1972), if a policy
variable responds to the lagged (or expected) target values, then
considering such a policy variable as exogenous would not only introduce
the problem of misspecification but will also produce serious biases in
the parameters estimated from those models. In particular, if the
monetary policy variable happens to be strongly influenced by target
variables, then the standard result of the relative effectiveness of the
monetary policy vis-a-vis fiscal policy can be questionable on the
grounds of reverse causation problem.
Efficiency Analysis of Projects in the Pakistan Economy
Authors: Sahibzada Shamim A. , Mahmood Mir Annice
Published: August 2018

The analysis of projects can be undertaken in three stages;
the ftrst stage looks at the ftnancial aspects; the second stage
examines the projects from an economic aspect and the third stage
appraises the project from a social perspective. For the uninitiated
reader it is important to distinguish between these three types of
analyses. Financial analysis is the initial stage of examining a project
with respect to its viability. The analysis is undertaken from the point
of view of the sponsoring agency or individual and the prices used for
valuing inputs and outputs are those prevailing in the market, in other
words, current prices. These prices naturally include taxes and
subsidies which may and do act as a distorting feature. Also, in
ftnancial analysis the objective is more or less straightforward and
simple - that is maximize proftts. For a government planning offtcer or
for one who is concerned with looking at the macro economy in
particular, the picture that emerges is more complex. This is so because
the government planning offtcer has to satisfy himself that the aims and
objectives of development projects mesh in with the economic and social
aspirations of the country as a whole and are not the objectives of a
single particular group of persons. For this, the pricing and valuing
system has to be different from the one that examines projects from a
ftnancial point of view. Economic or efftciency analysis, therefore,
looks at the beneftts and costs of a project from the broader viewpoint
of its impact on the economy. The major differences between economic and
ftnancial analysis lies in the fact that prices used to value inputs and
outputs are net of taxes and subsidies; these latter reflect simply
transfer payments and not real cost. Also, in an economic analysis,
funds received from outside agencies are not treated as beneftts and
interest and principal repayments are not treated as cost.
Inaugural Address
Authors: Aziz Sartaj
Published: August 2018

Syed Nawab Haider Naqvi, Dr A. R. Kemal, Distinguished Guests,
Ladies and Gentlemen: It is a matter of pleasure and privilege for me to
inaugurate the Seventh Annual General Meeting of the Pakistan Society of
Development Economists. I;un grateful to the President of the Society
for his invitation to address this august body. I am pleased to observe
that in its short but eventful existence the Society has grown in
stature, nationally and internationally. It has contributed immensely to
the cause of development economics and has deepened our understanding of
the development process in Pakistan. The Society has carried out its
task: in a low-keyed but efficient fashion, and has shown its commitment
to achieving academic excellence. I wish to congratulate the Society for
its accomplishments, with the sincere hope that it will continue to
pursue its mission with undivided attention. This session of the Society
is taking place at a crucial time. On the international front, the world
is in the grip of a serious crisis emanating from the Gulf situation and
the slowing down of world economic growth. And at home, despite many
constraints the newly elected Government has embarked upon a bold
programme of economic and social development and reforms.
Financial Options for Economic Development (The Quaid-i-Azam
Lecture)
Authors: Klein Lawrence R.
Published: August 2018

As a model builder, I feel comfortable in analyzing economic
development through the construction and use of 2-gap
mathematical-statistical models. This serves as a paradigm for the
modelling of developing countries.l All systems have a core, and
although analysis of developing economies must take many interrelated
processes into account simultaneously, the more complex systems can
usually be reduced to a simplified core of broad macroeconomic
relationships. The 2-gap model is, of course, only a starting point
because the analysis must deal with such sectors as demographics, family
budgets, and the formation of market prices - possibly only relative or
real prices. Such a system looks at the economic development issues in
physical terms, with some real (relative) prices for allocation theory.
A great deal of interesting material can be prepared along these lines
for guidance in the development process. The building blocks are: (i)
Production functions for introducing technological constraints, perhaps
extended to include an input-output component; (ii) Conditions of
marginal productivity, i.e., optimality in reaching production decisions
both for output and input; (iii) Population dynamics and more general
demographic processes extending to labour supply, immigration,
emigration, and distribution of income/wealth; (iv) The conditions for
consumer choice, generating ultimately large-scale demand systems,
starting with family budget analysis. As in the case of production
analysis, optimality decisions guide model specification; and (v) Trade
systems showing how exportable surpluses are created and
offset
Equity and Efficiency in Health Status and Health Services
Utilization: A Household Perspective (Distinguishedl Lecture)
Authors: Sirageldin Ismail , Diop Francois
Published: August 2018

The objective of this paper could be phrased as follows: What
are the health consequences of changes in public fiscal and income
policies? This is an important question, especially in times where
programmes of macroeconomic structural adjustments are being implemented
in many developing countries. The health consequences of these policies
continue to be debated. Some argue that the main victims are mainly the
poor and the vulnerable [cf. Cornia et al. (1987) and (1988)]. Others
maintain that the longer term benefits will more than compensate for
short-term losses and that the real test is to compare with the
consequences of not making the adjustments. The conceptual and empirical
foundation of the debate seems to be less than satisfactory, however. It
is our view that to understand the health consequences of such policies
a careful examination of three issues are required: (a) the existing
pattern of disease; (b) the initial distributional structure (equity
pattern) of public policies; and (c) the behavioural response of
households in allocating resources towards health-promoting activities
given (a) and (b). Our approach is necessarily context specific. It is
in line with Streeten's (1988) conclusion that ..... the most important
general lesson that emerged was that there are no general lessons, and
that each case has to be treated separately and on its merits". Our
purpose is to provide an overall general framework that serves as a
guide to examine specific cases. For more detailed theoretical analysis,
see Diop (1990), and for an empirical application, see Diop and
Sirageldin (1990).
International Development Perspectives for the 90s (The
Distinguishedl Lecture)
Authors: Corea Gamani
Published: August 2018

Chairman, Professor Naqvi, Professor Klein, Dr Kemal,
Distinguished Participants, First let me express my deep gratitude to
the Pakistan Society of Development Economists for having invited me to
be present on this occasion to take part in this Seventh Annual General
Meeting. I feel privileged indeed to be here. It is not the first
occasion I ha~e had to visit Islamabad; but on this occasion, more than
on previous ones, I have had the opportunity - thanks to this meeting -
of making contact with so many economists and research workers in
Pakistan. I have been given a subject which seems to be a little bit
removed from the issues that have been discussed, and will be discussed,
over the period of this session. I have been asked to talk about
international development perspectives for the 90s. No doubt the reason
which prompted Professor Naqvi to suggest this title, and to invite me
in fact, was that I had the honour of being Chairman of the UN General
Assembly's exercise on the preparation of a Strategy for the 90s, the
socalled Fourth United Nations Development Decade. The General Assembly
established, as was its practice on previous occasions, what is called a
"Committee of the Whole" charged with the function of formulating and
negotiating the text of what might be a Strategy for the 90s. This
exercise was launched in the middle of 1989 and was concluded - I am
happy to be able to say - on the 21st of December 1990, just a few weeks
ago, when the Strategy was adopted by consensus by the Plenary of the
General Assembly. The Strategy designates the Fourth Development Decade,
the decade of the 90s, as starting on the 1st January of 1991 and ending
on the 31st of December of the year 2000. So, today we are in the ninth
day of the development decade of the United Nations.
On the Languages of Markets (The Distinguishedl Lecture)
Authors: Khan Muhammad Ail
Published: August 2018

In this essay, I look at differing conceptions of the market,
ranging from the concrete where it is regarded simply as a place, to the
abstract where it is looked on both as power and as a principle, and
where its attendant vocabulary can be used to give meaning and
distinction to the relation between God and man.1 As such, I want to
look at market, not as a keyword in the terminology of Raymond
Williams,2 but as a concept3 with widely differing meaning across
cultures, and more specifically, across time within the same culture.
Even though this opens up a vast subject, what makes the project
manageable, and in line within the limits of my _own competence, is the
motivation which leads me to undertake it. My primary motivation is to
show that the language of economic theory in the last half century has
undergone a shift in orientation and emphasis, and this shift has had,
as an important corollary, a corresponding shift in our normative and
evaluative stance towards markets and exchange. I document these shifts
and set them in other contexts to show that they reflect an age-old
tension between differing conceptions of man and society, and of
individual self-interest and the larger public interest. I examine how
these conceptions are seen with reference to each other, and how the
meaning given to the term market leads them to conflict or
coincide.
Have Agricultural Economists Neglected Poverty Issues? (The
Distinguishedl Lecture)
Authors: Thlesenhusen William C.
Published: August 2018

In the short term one can be pessimistic about the collective
progress of the Third World and its interactions with industrial
countries. There is plenty of bad news. With one-quarter of the world's
population, industrialized countries consume about 80 percent of the
world's goods. With three-quarters of the world's population, developing
countries command less than one-quarter of the world's resources. And
the imbalance is growing worse.! Of the 2.7 billion people in the
tropical and subtropical regions outside of China, 40 percent live in
poverty; more than 14 million of their children under 5 years of age
starve to death or die of disease each year? Furthermore, at the same
time as an increasing proportion of the population of Africa is composed
of young people (65 percent of its population is now under age 25),
education budgets are being cut - from $ 10.8 billion in 1980 to $ 5.8
billion in 1986.3 In an article assessing the globalization of
economies, Richard J. Barnet writes: "Poverty, population pressures,
civil war, and repression are turning Sub-Saharan Africa - black Africa
minus South Africa and Namibia - into a giant disaster zone, and in
countries in South America, such as Colombia and Peru, the civil society
is dissolving. In the Philippines more than seventy percent of the
population is poor by any human standard. With the end of the Cold War,
the increasing marginalization of the Third World appears likely."4 The
predictions are ominous. Barnet concludes his article, written before
the crisis in Iraq, by speaking to an industrial-country audience:
"There is no real north-south dialogue, and politicians in the
industrial world feel little pressure to begin one.
Regression analysis in stature estimation from upper extremity dimensions in Turkish females

Published: August 2018

Objectives: This
study’s aim was to determine the relationship between stature and measurements
of the upper extremity segments in healthy adult females and obtain regression
equations for prediction of stature from upper extremity dimensions in Turkish
females.Materials and Methods:
The study group consisted of 130
females mean aged 31.91±7.00 years. Dominant and non dominant upper extremity
measurements were obtained from all subjects. Additionally, SPSS version 21
software package program was used for all analysis. A parametric test or
non-parametric test was applied according to the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test
results. Moreover, the Chi square test and Spearman Pearson Correlation
analysis were used. Significance was set at p<0.05.Results:
The data of this study were analyzed, the mean
values of metacarpal width, metacarpal circumference, wrist width, wrist
circumference, arm length and hand length were 7.12 cm, 17.97 cm, 4.76 cm,
14.76 cm, 65.88 cm and 17.43 cm in dominant side, respectively; whereas, the
same values were found as 7.10 cm, 17.88 cm, 4.75 cm, 14.67 cm, 65.70 cm and
17.39 cm in non-dominant side, respectively. Moreover, the mean value of arm
span and height were measured as 158.66 cm and 163.35 cm, respectively.
Furthermore, there were no significant difference as statistically in the mean
value of upper extremity measurements in dominant and non-dominant side. In
stature estimation which was performed by using arm span, this parameter was more
valid than the other measurements.Conclusion: Due to
our findings, stature can be estimated higher by using arm span measurement
than the other measurements. The observations presented in this report have
defined anatomic parameters and regression formula about upper extremity
dimensions that need to be taken into consideration for reference data to
determine population discrepancies and to help for anatomists, forensic
scientists and anthropologists.
O corpo em circunstância: uma compreensão fenomenológica da nudez nas performances de Regina José Galindo
Authors: Maldonado Stephanie Ares , Marandola Jr. Eduardo
Published: August 2018

A possibilidade do fazer artístico se dá na relação artista-lugar, mesmo se esta relação for composta por tensões existenciais e conflitos ideológico-culturais. Sem esse corpo posto em circunstancialidade, como poderia a obra de arte existir, ser apresentada e apreciada? Esse aspecto, muito evidente nas performances que Regina José Galindo apresenta nua, mostra que mesmo a arte crítica emana dessa associação essencial entre o corpo senciente-sensível do artista com o mundo que coabita com os corpos associados expectadores de sua obra. Nesse contexto, a base existencial, que circunscreve as experiências criativas e expressivas de Galindo e que pôde ser acessada em nossa mundanidade comum, acabou por resultar neste artigo.
O desabrochar da estética modernista em Mário de Andrade
Authors: Amaral Tania Cristina
Published: August 2018

Esse artigo é parte do tema de pesquisa da dissertação de mestrado. A paisagem urbana da cidade de São Paulo: uma poética da garoa sob o olhar de Mário de Andrade. O desabrochar da estética Modernista em Mário de Andrade, sublinha um período marcado pelo movimento de renovação estética literária e artística no Brasil, que instaura e coroa a arte e a literatura, com profundas modificações atreladas aos organismos sociais e políticos no país. Mário de Andrade, o poeta modernista, arlequinal e lírico, engajado nas vanguardas europeias através da literatura e, junto a outros importantes nomes de veios artísticos, inaugura a revolução na arte do Brasil com a Semana de Arte Moderna em fevereiro de 1922, na cidade de São Paulo. Esta pesquisa debruça-se nos estudos da representação da cidade de São Paulo no viés poético e geográfico, quando correlaciona a vida e morte do poeta ao processo de urbanização da cidade de São Paulo. Esse contexto é revelado através dos poemas que perpetuam o amor visceral entre a cidade e Mário, o qual a elege como tema principal. As cortinas se abrem e, segundo o olhar imagético do poeta, a leitura sobre o arranjo espacial da cidade é concluída.

Este é o desdobrar da pesquisa de Iniciação Cientifica LINGUAGENS GEOGRÁFICAS: OUTROS SENTIDOS ESPACIAIS EM A HARD DAY’S NIGHT (Bolsa CNPq/UNESP), desenvolvida no Grupo de Pesquisa Linguagens Geográficas (GPLG). Focamos no diálogo entre linguagens geográficas, filosóficas e artísticas para contribuir com novos significados de referenciais geográficos já consolidados no contexto institucionalizado do universo escolar. Aqui vamos experimentar tal caminho por meio de encontros possíveis através dos escritos da chamada “filosofia da diferença”, notadamente por Gilles Deleuze, Felix Guattari e demais pensadores. Foi escolhido o filme A Hard Day’s Night (1964) para pensar o cinema como uma potência de significações à linguagem geográfica. Com as análises de alguns frames do filme, vamos abordar o sentido de sua composição a partir dos processos de subjetivação capitalista, os quais territorializam formas de expressar, agir, pensar e desejar, que delimitam a força espacial da vida na sociedade atual, os quais reverberam nos referenciais de localização e orientação dos jovens no mundo a partir do lugar em que se encontram.
