REVIEW OF LITERATURE
Matthew McCartney (September 2011) “Pakistan, Growth, Dependency, and Crisis”
In this paper there is an ongoing debate about the impact of trade, foreign direct investment (FDI), and financial liberalization on economic growth. Its proponents favor a positive link, having been more vocal in recent decades than during the years of import substitution and self-sufficiency in the 1950s and 1960s. Pakistan showed far more resilience to the global financial crisis than did many other developed and developing countries by maintaining positive GDP growth throughout. In 2008/09, GDP growth was negative in the world as a whole.

Arshia Amiri & Ulf-G Gerdtham (2012) “GRANGER CAUSALITY BETWEEN EXPORTS, IMPORTS AND GDP IN FRANCE: EVIDANCE FROM USING
GEOSTATISTICAL MODELS”
This paper introduces a new way of investigating linear and nonlinear Granger causality between exports, imports and economic growth in France over the period 1961_2006 with using geostatistical models (kiriging and Inverse distance weighting). There has been much interest in applying endogenous growth theory to economic policy. An important example is international trade policy. Indeed, this

    Some effects of international trade to Gross Domestic Products (GDP) include the level in which imports and exports are operating, issues dealing with employment, and limits of consumer spending. Higher exports and lower imports may add to the GDP, while lower exports and higher imports contract GDP. These changes usually cause positive and/or negative changes within our economy. When there is a gap between imports and exports and the trading of these types of goods have been decreased, the result is a smaller negative effect on the GDP----allowing the economy to grow (McTeer, 2008).…

    Economists have a very poor track record of forecasting the future as the dynamic interactions between complex variables, an imperfect understanding of the non-economic factors and the occurrence of unanticipated exogenous shocks turn their judgements into hit and miss episodes. Despite these weaknesses economic forecasting flourishes as a discipline and the economists show indomitable courage to sketch out their scenarios of an uncertain and unknown future. This article therefore examines the past developments, current trends of Pakistani economy and the future global and regional outlook and builds the most likely scenario for the medium term economic prospects of the country (next 10 years or so) and then reviews the downside risks and upside gains around this scenario.…

    Aug 28 - Sep 03, 2000Monetary policy in Pakistan has been used in co-ordination with the fiscal policy to achieve both the objectives of macro-economic stability and higher economic growth. The government supervises monetary situation of economy through the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP). This article attempts to present an overview of the monetary policy in Pakistan overtime.During the decade of fifties, monetary policy was used to correct external balances in the economy. The government followed the tight monetary policy during the early fifties to prevent inflationary tendencies in the economy. But there was an increase in the money supply because of the deficit financing.The phenomenon of monetary expansion continued during the sixties (Although growth rate of money supply slowed down in the late fifties). Increase in bank rates, cash reserve requirements, liquidity ratios, abolition of credit quotas and the imposition of credit ceiling etc. were the main measures because of rapid increases in private investment and growth of GDP (6.8% in 1960s). The government tried to restrict money supply in the economy to counteract inflation because of conflict with India in 1965 and crop failure in 1966. However, heavy defence expenditures and cut in aid flows forced the government to resort to deficit financing for correcting the fiscal imbalance. It would be pertinent to mention that inflation rates remained low (3.8%, annual average) during this period. This was due to an improvement in the economy and steps taken by the monetary authorities (e.g. increase in bank rates, cash reserve requirements, liquidity ratios, abolition of credit quotas and imposition of credit ceiling).

    This paper is examines the causal relationships between gross domestic product (GDP) and exports in Pakistan by using time series data for the period between 1980 and 2000.
