Objectives and Services
Among our objectives, the first is to carry out theoretical and empirical research on Pakistan-related economic and social issues to highlight appropriate policy implications. PIDE also provides a forum to disseminate research results and knowledge to other economists and social scientists.
The second is to facilitate cooperation with governmental, non- governmental, and other agencies in the relevant fields of activity, and to provide facilities for training in economic analysis, research methods, and project evaluation for officials of both public and private sector organisations. PIDE also offers postgraduate academic programmes in Economics and other social sciences.
Further, we function as an agency for conducting and promoting research, surveys, seminars, experiments and demonstrations in related social disciplines in collaboration with international academic and development institutions on contractual basis. PIDE publishes its own and collaborative research and, when called upon to do so, extends advice to the Government and other agencies.
