Reproductive Behavior in Pakistan: Incorporating Men and Couplesto Understand Change Over Time
No full textPIDE-COVID-19 Blog (no. 31) : population dynamics and COVID-19 in Pakistan
No full text“At the time of writing, the number of confirmed COVID-19 cases in Pakistan has crossed 26,000 and over 600 deaths have been recorded. The confirmed cases are increasing exponentially. The exponential growth figures are endorsed by the fact that on May 1, the growth rate of COVID cases was 7% (PIDE COVID-19 Dashboard). The Ministry of National Health Services of Pakistan has a dedicated website to get live updates on COVID-19 pandemic and how it is unfolding in Pakistan. The website has detailed information and statistics on the number of COVID-19 confirmed cases, deaths and tests performed. All these figures are provided by province, sex, and age. While interpreting these statistics, one needs to be cautious of the underlying limitations. The reported deaths are hospital-based fatalities of confirmed COVID-19 cases, and do not, therefore, capture the COVID-19 related deaths that may be occurring outside the hospitals. However, it can be assumed that home-based deaths due to COVID-19 may be fewer in number because COVID-19 symptoms normally lead the patient to seek hospital assistance. At the same time, this assumption could very well be incorrect as many people are reportedly hiding their symptoms for fear of forced isolation and many are not taking the symptoms seriously enough. Others may not be close enough to a hospital. Understanding mortality dynamics is a basic component of demography- a criterion for accurate trend analysis and projection. The purpose-built tools that Demography as a discipline offers helps to rigorously evaluate data quality and comparability (Dowd et al., 2020). This article will highlight the importance of population age structure to understand the fatality rates and how transmission of COVID-19 unfolds in Pakistan. The age-sex composition of the population is directly related to the progression of the disease (Dowd et al., 2020).
PIDE COVID-19 Blog (no. 8) : young- the inadvertent agents for spreading covid-19
No full text“So far, the health message has been clear – the older you are, the more at risk you are from coronavirus. But the World Health Organization (WHO) has warned young people not to view themselves as “invincible”. Special Advisor to the Prime Minster (SAPM), Dr. Zafar Mirza, said on Thursday March 26 that 24 percent of the confirmed corona patients in Pakistan are between the ages of 21-30 years. The statistics reveal that the pattern of COVID-19 is quite different in Pakistan from the other countries, including China and Italy where most of the infected cases are the elderly. Early reports that only the elderly, i.e. 65 and above, are vulnerable are also being controverted by new evidence coming from the United States and Europe. Recent figures show that young adults are catching the virus too. The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported that though fatality rate is the highest among older adults i.e. 85 and above, “COVID-19 can result in hospitalization and admission to an intensive care unit for a range of ages”. According to CDC 20% of the people who are hospitalized are between the ages of 20-44 and another 18% are between 45-54 years. Of those admitted to intensive care, 12% were aged 20-44 years.
A spatial analysis of the role of entrepreneurship in the economic development in Northeast region of the United States
No full textIncreasing population and very modest economic growth are major concerns in regional economic development. There have been many fluctuations and inconsistencies in regional economic growth since the Second World War. Policy makers started to pay attention to the possibility of increasing entrepreneurial activities in the Northeast region after realizing that manufacturing firms alone cannot meet the employment needs of local residents. The United States has focused on providing more support to entrepreneurs to have a competitive economy. Entrepreneurship is important for economic activities such as employed resources, labor and capital goods pricing, organizing production, and marketing goods. This study develops relationships among population density, employment, per capita income, and new firm formation and self-employment as measures of entrepreneurship, assuming that these variables can be determined jointly.;The main objective of the study is to identify and estimate the impacts of entrepreneurship in the economic development of the Northeast region. A theoretical model is developed using endogenous growth theory. This model\u27s emphasis is on the role of entrepreneurship in economic growth. In a theoretical conclusion the relationship between entrepreneurship and economic growth can be seen in two ways: entrepreneurial effect and production effect. At a social optimum, the entrepreneurial effect is stronger than the production effect and shows an increase in economic growth as entrepreneurship increases. For empirical analysis, two methods are used: non-spatial model and spatial model. The non-spatial model of this study is derived from the three-equation simultaneous model of Deller et al. (2001).The spatial model is derived from a Spatial Durbin Model with four equations. The study used the non-spatial simultaneous equations model to estimate the relationship using Three-Stage Least Squares (3SLS).;The empirical results of this study on the relationship between entrepreneurship and economic development are an extension that incorporates the simultaneous relationship of new firm formation and self-employment in the economic development of the region. Another contribution of this study is using the spatial Durbin model technique. New firm formation as a measure of entrepreneurship plays a significant role in the economic development of the Northeast region of the Unites States. Although, self-employment also contributes in the process of economic development, new firm formation has stronger impact on economic development than self-employment. The results of self-employment growth are weak in the empirical models. Basically, it is possible that entrepreneurship can enhance regional economic development
An Analysis of the Relationship between New Firm Formation and Economic Development in the Northeast Region of the United States
No full textThe overall objective of this study is to provide policy makers with information on the role of new firm formation in the economic development in the Northeast region of the United States. This study identifies and estimates the impacts of new firm formation in the economic development of the Northeast region. The empirical model of this study is derived from the three-equation simultaneous model of Deller et al. (2001). In this study, Three-Stage Least Squares (3SLS) method is used to estimate the simultaneous equations model. The research findings indicate that population density and per capita income have a positive link with new firm formation. Higher population density and per capita income encourage entrepreneurs to start new firms in the region. This leads to an increase of new jobs, which is a positive contribution to economic development in the Northeast region
Fueling Hunger: The Double Blow of Oil Price Shocks and Currency Depreciation on Pakistan’s Food Security
No full textThe aim of this study is to evaluate the impact of oil price and exchange rate in Pakistan’s food security using data from 1981 to 2021 and employed ARDL econometric approach. The findings show that oil price and population growth has negatively while exchange rate has positively impacted in model Food Security. Having observed that oil prices and exchange rate are the main contributing factors in Pakistan’s food security, it is suggested inclusive policies should be established by policy makers. The State Bank of Pakistan, Ministry of Trade and Commerce and Ministry of Finance to control oil prices and exchange rates and reduce the effect of food inflation on both producers as well as consumers. Furthermore, Pakistani government should encourage rules and regulations that advance sustainable farming methods, rise high quality seeds accessibility, technical progression, fertilizers, and revolutionize agricultural practices. In addition, government should support openness policies by educating trade barriers and giving subsidies to exporters, to protect domestic output from variations in exchange rate and currency depreciation. The current research expects that Pakistani authorities will incorporate this research to diminish the issues related to food insecurity in Pakistan by keeping in view as elementary need for all human beings
