<<< Pakistan Institute of Development Economics (PIDE)
.
Established in 1957, PIDE is 'devoted to theoretical and empirical research in Development Economics in general and on Pakistan-related economic issues in particular. In addition to providing a firm academic basis to economic policy-making, its research also provides a window through which the outside world can view the nature and direction of economic research in Pakistan. Other social sciences, such as demography and anthropology and interdisciplinary studies increasingly define the widening scope of research that must be undertaken for proper economic policy and development to have sound underpinnings. Experts at PIDE undertake their projects as part of the annual research agenda under intra-institutional or collaborative arrangements with several national and international organizations. Current areas of emphasis are economic issues, development studies, social issues, agricultural and physical sciences, environment and natural resources'.
