No democracy without democratic political parties and local governments! #PakThink #PakCities
Attended a premiere of the new documentary on blasphemy laws in Pakistan ("The Accused: Damned or Devoted") by the brilliant @manaqvi. Make no mistake, this is a tough film about intolerance in #Pakistan. Incredible. Airing on BBC4 on March 2nd. #pakthink #tolerance
Law-breaking & violence is normal in Pakistan to deal with social, religious, domestic, property and political issues. This is the main feature of a tribal society that does not have a modern state with a monopoly of violence and the capability to establish rule of law. #PakThink
Here is my view on PSDP misallocation. @PIDEpk @nadeemhaque #Pakthink www-brecorder-com.cdn.ampproject.org/v/s/www.brecor…
This work by Diego Cerdeiro and others at the @IMFNews is fantastic. Daily AIS data from ships allows them to match official trade statistics (but faster, and with daily periodicity). Look at trade numbers for containerized cargo and for auto. #PakThink #COVIDー19 #Trade
How big is the drop in trade activity? Should it be attributed mostly to exports or to imports? We can now try to answer these questions using real-time shipping data: ow.ly/emTk50zGkef #IMFBlog #COVID19 #ChartOfTheWeek
Great topic, adding to an increasingly large literature on information costs as a barrier for firms’ growth. Relevant for #Pakistan #PakThink #growth #trade
Many productive firms face a limited market because they don't know how to sell their products to growth-conducive buyers, from @HjortJ, @vinayak_econ, and @GolvineL nber.org/papers/w27662
Agreed sir, we young planners are waiting for opportunity..#PakThink since last two years we are waiting for recuritment in public sector.
Most of the engineers/consultants who develop master plans of #PakCities are in their 60s and almost all are men. Masterplans are usually for 20-30 years. Median age in Pakistan is around 22. Youth, women and children dnt have any say in these master plans. This needs to change!
#Islamabad got beautiful grounds. Futbal, hockey, cricket & multi-purpose. All r rusting, seem haunted ones; we know how to build but dont know how to manage. Except the lively embassy road one - a model of public-private partnership or CSR? Cant we replicate it to all #PakThink
Lets talk, about our cities without any discriminations. #Pakthink
ہمارے شہروں کے مسائل اتنے پیچیدہ ہیں کہ کسی ایک تعلیمی شعبہ یا پیشہ سے متعلقہ ماہرین حل نہیں کر سکے۔ ہمیں لوگوں کے ساتھ ملکر مشترکہ لائحہ عمل بنانا ہے۔ پاکستان میں پہلی دفعہ ایک ایسے مذاکرہ کا اہتمام کیا جا رہا ہے جس مختلف شعبہ اور سروس کے لوگ شامل ہونگے۔ cutt.ly/ShehrLR
For this to happen, we first need to invest in public/pedestrian friendly infrastructure. With limited resources, can we really afford metro buses? Perhaps an alternative would be to first invest in cheaper alternatives, a network of busses. #PakThink
One simple way for our out of touch rich to understand the problems of the poor & empathise with them is to ban motorcars from city centres, so rich uncles & aunties r forced to walk, take public transport, cross roads, rest in parks, eat in roadside restaurants & shop fm thelas
In rural Sindh one of microfinance bank gives 100,000 rupees loan and charges 40% interest per year excluding service charges. Poors are being robbed. #PakThink
Lockdown seems working! Some evidence from Italy. #CoronavirusOutbreak #PakThink
#COVID19 #CoronavirusPandemic cases in Bergamo & Lodi Italy show evidence that early #SocialDistancing measures in Lodi #FlattenTheCurve Read our paper: osf.io/se6wy/?view_on…
When we talk about urban planning or urban transport management.We should consider the vulnerable population cohort! ie., elderly, pregnant women, kids and disable people. I support the notion of disability_inclusive development. What is your opinion? #Pakthink
#pakthink only infrastructure #Lahorerawalpindi #motorway V were proud of is disastrous now 1) roadworks with no warning signage of lane closure or reduced speed limit 2) no 🛣 police patrol to check lane violation by Big buses,3) cars coming the wrong way out of exits 1/2
My thoughts on global supply chains: Risk is not a reason to reshore. Major shifts will require tariffs or subsidies. These efficiency taxes will reduce incomes. Read more here: barrons.com/articles/will-…

Governments Could Bring Supply Chains Home. It Would Defy Economic Rationality.
Companies aren’t likely to reshore their supply chains “naturally,” says a World Bank economist. There are smarter ways to make economies more resilient.
#pakthink #Cities #Pakistan #socialawarenes Let me quote here “Hofstede’s cultural dimension theory” where Pakistan have zero score for “Indulgence”. It means public actions are highly controlled by social norms and indulging themselves in somewhat against norms is really hard.
My student @fa_laraib developed this poster to tell urban planners & administrators that they need to reimagine #PakCities to make them more inclusive for women. Have you seen a master plan (developed through huge public money) of any city in Pak that has done such a visioning?
Have you submitted your paper to this conference?! #IBA #PakThink #Economics #development

the Bankster families. Banking is an economic component, not the other way around!! Capital must be used to benefit the economy rather than the economy being used to benefit the banks. 3/3 #PakThink
What did we get by banning Wikipedia? Not that we produce high quality papers in academic journals anyway, that we banned the biggest free source of information on the web. #PakThink #wikipediaBlocked
#ChatGPT gives almost similar prescriptions as given by development economists. Is it supernacy of development economists or the end of development economists? #EconTwitter #PakThink
MMM-Men, Money and Manipulation- corrupts and destroys a system. Inefficiency breeds corruption. The more inefficiency, the more corruption and vice versa. #PakThink #PakThink #PakEconomy
Every student in high schools & universities shd be trained as an entrepreneur. It does not mean everyone will do business. Though millions need to do! Entrepreneurial skill is all about decision making, risks and finding solutions of problems. Everyone should learn it. #PakThink
How can we have walkable cities with 45 degrees temperature? What’s the solution? #pakthink
Discuss macro numbers on twitter and never discuss or understand micro foundations of the economy. Dnt raise big questions on economic & social fundamentals. Never discuss oppertunities to grow the economy. Rule book to become a popular economist in Pakistan! #PakThink
We have been doing austerity, bans and controls. What we have not been doing? Enhancing oppertinities for people to be more productive and competitive. We all want to read why nations fail but we dnt read books that tell us why nations thrive. #PakThink
My decision to ban import of luxury items will save the country precious foreign exchange. We will practice austerity & financially stronger people must lead in this effort so that the less privileged among us do not have to bear this burden inflicted on them by the PTI govt.
Become an innovative and responsible #entrepreneur to serve and defend the country! #PakThink

Politics in Pakistan is about the money in your bank. Educated youth has brilliant ideas, but is broke. How can this lot first break the wheel and reconstruct it, to enter politics in the first place? #PakThink
Educated youth interested in politics should join the game as politicians instead of bashing and supporting politicians on twitter.
Who wants to live in a class based, regressive, patriarchal, economically failed state/society? #PakThink
A friend of mine recently forwarded a job advrt as it perfectly matches my profile and said make sure you have a political reference. That friend works in same organisation at senior level. #pakthink
Why educated and talented women want to leave Pakistan? I can see this trend is increasing rapidly. The number may be minimal now but has an increasing trend. Lets not get into size of this segment but focus on the question I posed even if the number is quite small. #PakThink
Everyone talks about current account deficit and fiscal deficit. No one talks about learning deficit in Pakistan. #PakThink

#MidNightReading How China reformed its bureaucracy for shifting the attention towards economic development? I have bn saying Pakistan cannot grow unless we assign investment, entrepreneurial activity, and job creation targets to city officials/authorities. #PakCities #PakThink
True. It is easier to collect (highly distortive) import taxes than to collect other (less distortive) taxes. That's why as countries develop they move away from trade taxes as they grow capacity to collect. Yet, #Pakistan is above average in terms of taxes on trade. #PakThink
1/2. Who says the government does not facilitate the industry? Look what a building as industrial facilitation center. And there is an industrial facilitation company as well. This is how we have established NPO, SMEDA, BOI, TUSDEC... All are employment agencies. #PakThink
Every #Pakistani should read this book by @bill_easterly. Title: The Tyranny of Experts, Economists, Dictators and the Forgotten Rights of the Poor. #PakThink

Can such things happen in Pakistan? No student and faculty exchange programs in Pakistan. #PakThink (Kip Thorn telling about Stephen Hawking)
How do cities look beautiful? Not with choona and gamla!!! Cities look beautiful when they offer public transport, protect rights of cyclists and pedestrian, develop mixed use city centers and provide vibrant public spaces. #PakCities #ReImagineIslamabad #PakThink
We have requested policy professionals, academics, entrepreneurs & civil servants to join us as mentors to train & groom the next generation of policy makers & analysts through this policy fellowship by @LRTerrace. #LRP2021 #PakThink Register by 15 Dec: bit.ly/LRP2021.
During his talk at #LRP2021 by @LRTerrace, @shahjahan_ch says, "if you want to destroy an economy increase rate of VAT/GST." What do you think? #PakThink
Some work of Artisans. These are hand made . These are parts of bed which will be further fitted. Now, 3D machines are replacing them. Those artisans who are unable to purchase them will be gonna unemployed. Hand made work quality is far better than machine work. #PakThink
But what about looking at it from the angle of where is the value added created – or ‘forward linkages’? Now ranking changes: it’s #services where most of the exported value added is created. #PakThink 👇 (4/n)

We have powerful thought leaders here who can align and assist in the mission towards real-time prosperity. #PakThink
Dnt know who said it. But I recall it when I see the responce by people to my proposals regarding focus on domestic investment through entrepreneurship & revisting land-use policies in cities in order to come out of foreign debt trap and revenue constraints. #PakCities #PakThink
Saw these boards in Islamabad. Though modern economic wisdom inform us it is better to give cash to people! What do you think? #EconTwitter #PakThink
Some dnt like posting book titles. However, I understand we do need to remind each other to read, read and read. So here is what I'm enjoying these days. Philosophy explained in a simple way. #PakThink
