Item IMPACT OF BRAIN DRAIN ON ECONOMIC GROWTH OF PAKISTAN(Library Information Services, COMSATS University Islamabad, Lahore Campus, 2023) JAVERIA KASHIF; SP20-BEC-002; HINA AMIRThis study aims to find out how Pakistan's economic growth is affected by brain drain. It has used time series data of 1990-2019 over a period of 30 years. In this study the dependent variable is GDP with health expenditure, human development index, population growth and net migration rate as independent variables. The long- and short-term relationships between the variables are ascertained using the autoregressive distributed lag error correction model. ADF unit root test exhibit that the variables are stationary or not. The empirical results found that in the long run there is positive impact of HDI, health expenditures, and population expenditures on economic growth while net migration rate is having negative impact on economic growth of Pakistan. In the short run health expenditure has negative impact on economic growth while net migration rate, HDI and population growth positively affect economic growth of Pakistan.Item The impact of urbanization, infrastructure development and FDI on Pakistan’s economic growth(Library Information Services, COMSATS University Islamabad, Lahore Campus, 2023) Samar Shahid; SP20-BEC-001; Dr. Maaida Hussain HashmiThe aim of this paper is to examine the impact of the strategic pillars of growth in Pakistan, which include foreign direct investment inflows, urbanization rate, youth dependency ratio, and investment in electricity. We used a bound test and error correction model of auto-regressive distributed lag (ARDL) over the period of 1999 to 2022. The findings state that these variables are negatively correlated with GDP growth rate, which means they have a significant but declining effect on the long-run economic growth of Pakistan. Based on the findings and policy recommendations, the nation can excel with the right planning on urbanization, youth development initiatives and proper foreign investments in local resources, uplifting employment, and industrial growth. It is recommended to the policymakers to analyze how and what policies to be implemented on these factors.Item The Role of Foreign Remittances in Fostering the GDP of Pakistan(Library Information Services, COMSATS University Islamabad, Lahore Campus, 2023) MUHAMMAD UMER; SP20-BEC-005; HINA AMIRThe study is an addition to the research to examine the contribution that worker remittances provide to Pakistan's GDP. The analysis of the study concluded the impact of workers’ remittances, inflation, unemployment rate, emigrants, and total reserves on the GDP of Pakistan. Time series data (1993 to 2021) has been gathered from different authentic sources like the World Bank and IMF. The results of the ADF unit root test indicate that emigration and inflation are stationary at levels, whereas worker remittances, the unemployment rate, and total reserves are stationary at first difference. Both a long-term and short-term link between the variables is shown by the ARDL findings. The findings demonstrate that GDP is significant impacted by each independent variable. Furthermore, the study examined that the workers’ remittances and emigrants is positively related to the GDP of Pakistan while inflation, unemployment rate, and total reserves are negatively related to the GDP of Pakistan. The findings of this study will be a great contribution to the current research for policy recommendations.Item Testing Title by Nadeem(TMC, 2025) Nadeem SohailItem The Differential Impact of Individual Components of Direct and Indirect Taxes on Economic Growth of Pakistan(Library Information Services, COMSATS University Islamabad, Lahore Campus, 2025) Muhammad Adeel Khalid; CIIT/FA23-REC-001/LHR; Dr Rafi Amir-ud-Din; LHR TP 9708Pakistan’s economy is facing a grim challenge of fiscal deficit that is characterized by widening gap between government’s tax revenue and expenditures. Taxation and economic growth have a complex relationship that has been debated among scholars. The research gap identified is that there is inconclusive evidence with respect to the differential impact of components of direct and indirect taxes on Pakistan’s GDP growth. The purpose of the study is to investigate the impact of Direct Taxes, and Indirect Taxes including Sales Tax, Custom Duty and Excise Duty on the economic growth of Pakistan. The study has tested test three hypothesis and estimation strategy is based upon Unit Root Tests and ARDL Analysis. The study has used data from State Bank of Pakistan consisting of 20 years of monthly tax revenue collection from January 2001 to June 2022. The estimation strategy used for this study includes standard time series techniques such as Unit Root test encompassing both the Phillips-Perron (PP) and Augmented Dickey-Fuller (ADF) tests, and ARDL. The results of the study indicate that there is an insignificant relationship between tax structure and GDP growth rate of Pakistan. The reasons for this insignificant relationship include highly significant impact of some of the control variables, and many other factors beyond the tax structure of Pakistan.
