Pakistan Institute of Development Economics

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Pakistan Institute of Development Economics (PIDE) is a think tank in Islamabad, Pakistan. It was established at Karachi in 1957 and in 1964 accorded the status of an autonomous research organisation by the Government of Pakistan. It 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.
