      abstract = {This report on Pakistan is one of a series of country  studies undertaken by the International Trade and Food  Security Program are IFPRI on trade and macroeconomic  policies. Other studies in this series include research  reports on Colombia, Argentina, Nigeria, Zaire, and the  Philippines, and collaborative work with the World Bank on  this tonic in several other countries in Asia, Africa, and  Latin America. 
The findings from this research have  vividly shown the need to analyze the effects of policy  interventions in agriculture in developing countries in an  economic-wide framework. There is now an overwhelming body  of evidence showing that trade and exchange rate policies  have, in most countries, had a far greater impact,  generally adverse, on agricultural incentives than policies  that are specific to agriculture. Through their influence  on incentives vis-à-vis the nonfarm sector, these indirect  and usually implicit price interventions influence private  investment and labor employment in agriculture and induce  substantial income transfers from agriculture to the rest  of the economy. 
This research report examines the Pakistan  experience from the early 1960s until 1987. it attempts to  quantify the effects on the agricultural sector of both  sectoral policy interventions and the indirect effect of  economy-wide trade and macroeconomic policies. The  empirical findings are analyzed in a broad policy context,  and the authors draw some implications for development in  Pakistan.},
