An analysis of industrial–agricultural interactions: a case study in Pakistan
实证分析巴基斯坦工业与农业部门的关系，发现两者互补但工业从农业增长中获益更多，对政策制定者改革农业政策有参考价值。
This paper empirically analyzes the relationship between Pakistan's industrial and agricultural sectors. Pakistan was chosen because of its status of a semi-industrialized country with heavy dependence on the agricultural sector. The relationship between cotton production and industrial growth is also evaluated due to the prominence of this crop in Pakistani agriculture. The results indicate that these sectors are complementary, yet industry tends to benefit more from agricultural growth than vice versa. The timing of this information is critical, as Pakistan's policy makers now face major agricultural policy reforms in their quest for continued industrial development. ©2000 Elsevier Science B.V.
